I just got diagnosed 3 hours ago, I went strait home to research on it. They say Niacin is the best, because it is the most natural. What it does is block the production of cholesterol by blocking the release of triglycerides from body fat, and by slowing down the liver from making more from blood sugar.

Why do pharmaceutical companies scare people into cholesterol lowering drugs when multiple studies have shown that high cholesterol has absolutely nothing to do with heart disease?
It's All About Money!That's how the pharmaceutical companies get paid...through fear.The answer is simple. Drug companies make money by selling drugs to combat high cholesterol. If they told the truth, they would not collect the money for the drugs. It's not just the cholesterol drugs, either. It's a very large number of drugs! To the drug companies, and many others in the medical field, the bottom line is not about health and healing, it is about putting LARGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY in their pockets.DebIn fact, HDL and LDL, which are the usual components measured when testing cholesterol, are not cholesterol at all. They are lipoproteins. So if your HDL number comes back high, it means your "High Density Lipoprotein" levels are high. Not your cholesterol.Remember: THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN HEART DISEASE AND HIGH CHOLESTEROL!! 60% OF HEART ATTACK PATIENTS HAVE "LOW CHOLESTEROL" LEVELS!!
