Hi this is Oakdale, MN Chiropractor, Dr. Ben Smetana.  I found this article, which was supposed to be the lead article in my last e-newsletter, on the Doctor’s Resource Center portion of our website.  The article talks about the benefits of fermented/cultured foods on cholesterol levels.

Statins, a class of medications used to treat high cholesterol and triglyceride levels, are among the most commonly prescribed drugs in the world. Statin chemicals are naturally produced through fermentation with specific fungi. A new study found that a garlic extract fermented with the statin-producing yeast, Monascus pilosus, can reduce high triglyceride and cholesterol levels.
