The relationship between elevated cholesterol and heart disease is in the news a lot. A high level of LDL-cholesterol is a cause of clogged arteries and can be treated.

This week, Dr. Kahn reviews the GG pathway and suggests using GG-Pure from xtend-life.com to promote the normal levels of several key metabolic products that can be blocked by cholesterol-lowering medications (use the discount code Kahn15 for a discount on your first order of 3 or more bottles).

Further topics this week are red yeast rice, statins and brain function, and new recommendations about who needs statins to prevent their first heart event (primary prevention).
