One potential dietary influence for a cholesterol-lowering strategy is to consume more soy protein. This is perhaps my favorite recommendation to women because soy also offers many other potential benefits, including mild reduction of menopausal symptoms and potentially reduction in the risk of breast cancer and uterine cancer. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The beneficial effects are likely due primarily to the essential fatty acid components of phosphatidylcholine and the soy lecithin preparations, because the body primarily breaks down phospholipids into free fatty acids, which benefit the body. These free fatty acids are used directly as fuel by the cells of the body. As previously discussed, free fatty acids can be long, short, saturated, or unsaturated. The free fatty acids in soy lecithin are beneficial medium-and short-chain, unsaturated fatty acids. |

On the other hand, if your product is exceptionally formulated, we will give it a glowing review and recommend that readers check it out.
Our reviews are determined entirely by merit. And it's not just what's in the product that counts. |

These preparations are used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, bipolar disorder, elevated cholesterol levels, and liver disorders. The beneficial effects are likely due primarily to the essential fatty acid components of phosphatidylcholine and the soy lecithin preparations, because the body primarily breaks down phospholipids into free fatty acids, which benefit the body.

Cholesterol is often portrayed as an evil compound, but it serves many important roles as it is the starting point for the manufacture of many hormones and bile acids, and serves as an important component of cell membranes as well. While the liver is the major source of blood cholesterol, dietary cholesterol can be an important contributor. |

Afraid to eat up that soy oil in your cupboard? You needn't throw it out even though it's sure to be rancid. Joseph Mazzela, an eighth grader at Maris Academy who exhibited at the 2002 California State Science Fair, proved that old vegetable oils can shine as lubricants for skateboards, bikes, boats, cars or door hinges. |

Phosphatidylcholine has many important functions in the body, including increasing the solubility of cholesterol, thereby decreasing its ability to induce atherosclerosis. Phosphatidylcholine also aids in lowering cholesterol levels and removing cholesterol from tissue deposits.
In a total of fifteen clinical trials with a duration of treatment with phosphatidylcholine ranging from one to twelve months, total serum cholesterol was lowered by 8.8 to 28. |

Although some of the available flavors for this product (such as strawberry) do contain artificial flavors, the flavors I recommend (cinnamon and spearmint) contain only naturally-occurring oils and flavors.
I've tried all the available flavors of Spry gum, and I like cinnamon the best. It has long-lasting flavor and is delicious. Studies have also shown that cinnamon helps reduce cavities in the mouth and can even assist in the stabilization of blood sugar. |

Maitake (Grifola frondosa) is a mushroom that has a long history of use in traditional Chinese and Japanese herbol-ogy and cooking. It grows wild in Japan, as well as in some wooded areas in eastern North America. Because maitake is difficult to cultivate, however, only relatively recently have the mushrooms become widely available. | | Sources

See book keywords and concepts |  A double-blind trial found that 20 grams of soy lecithin per day for four weeks had no significant effect on total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, or triglycerides (page 235).269 Whether taking lecithin supplements is a useful way to lower cholesterol in people with elevated cholesterol levels remains unclear.
The fiber (page 512)-like supplement chitosan (page 491) appears to reduce the absorption of bile acids or cholesterol; either of these effects may cause a lowering of blood cholesterol. |

The ultrasound recommended by the endocrinologist revealed a multinodular goiter, with a few larger nodules. These were biopsied and diagnosed as follicular neoplasms. Since follicular cells on aspiration cannot be ruled out as benign or malignant, it was recommended I have the thyroid lobe surgically removed. | | Producers of soy lecithin hope the new health claim will raise demand for lecithin and increase prices in what has been a soft market. Eggs, milk and soy products are the leading dietary sources of choline, according to recent research conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and at Duke University. | | The industry also makes a profit from other waste products, most notably soy lecithin (widely used in the food processing industry as an emulsifier), protease inhibitors (digestive distressers sold as cancer preventatives), and isoflavones (plant estrogens promoted as "safe" hormone therapy, cholesterol reducers, and cancer cures).

• A number of amino acids also aid in proper immune function. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant produced in the liver that protects the cells from damage by free radicals. Methionine neutralizes the most dangerous types of free radicals. Food sources of methionine are beans, eggs, lentils, fish, garlic, meat, onions, soybeans, seeds, and yogurt.
