I make a point to eat heart-healthy myself (a handful of almonds a day and plenty of Olive Oil are my 'weapons of choice') and when I found out about these chips that lowered Cholesterol I was intrigued enough to apply for a job - and well, here we are.... It's true; our chips were proven in clinical trials to lower LDL cholesterol up to 15%. You can find out more about the study, read our blog, see where we're sold, etc. on our website http://www.corazonas.com Cheers to everyone who believes (as I do) in improving health through lifestyle! :) <strong>Thanks for dropping by, Joe. I had found your website and linked to it...now if I could just find the chips! I saw on your site that my local Walgreens has them. Perhaps tomorrow I can stop by there.

I just blogged about my cholesterol the other day! Mine is a bit high, but I refuse to take the yucky prescriptions that my doctor wants me to take. I've been taking fish oil for more than a year and I gave up sugar and flour (most days, anyway!) for almost a year. I lost 26 pounds, but only lost 11 points in my bad cholesterol. I'm with you on the meat..and that's pretty much all I have left! I do eat more veggies though, and I rarely get any trans fats! I won't go back to the way I ate before, the migraines have almost completely vanished and I can have fried eggs for breakfast every single morning, though I usually alternate them with oatmeal.
