How to lower cholesterol naturally

There are lots of people these days with cholesterol problems. I know everybody thinks it's the token fat guy sweating on the tread mill that is the guy with the high cholesterol but you would be surprised. Many of these people with high cholesterol are not even fat. In fact some of them even look thin. It is more a matter of what kind of liver you got in the genetic lottery than how fat you are. Granted if you got a bad one for producing the bad cholesterol and you are obese you are asking for serious trouble. There is always the token listen to the doctor and eat your oatmeal approach. This will lower your cholesterol a couple of points but not dramatically. Oatmeal is good don't get me wrong it is not enough in most cases however. Then there are the statin drugs like Baycol that killed hundreds of people. You can have low cholesterol and keep eating those double blubber chunk burgers with cheese and not worry right? Well the truth of the matter is that many of these statin drugs lower your good cholesterol along with the bad so what you wind up with are sore muscles for no reason and a lack of energy if you are lucky. If you are not lucky then you get muscle wasting (Baycol) your kidneys fail and you could die. So what do you do then? There are a lot of natural supplements combined with diet that can lower cholesterol if taken properly without hurting or killing you. One of the main stacks that I have always suggested are soy lecthin granules with increased vitamin C. What this does is supply the liver with more choline to do it's job naturally. Of course you could always eat oatmeal once a day to put icing on the cake. Try the granule once a day for a month and see what you think. They are also way cheaper that prescriptions by the way.
