Cholesterol : Terry Talks Nutrition

Berberine Prevents Metabolic Syndrome

Ref. #TTN142

With 1 in 3 Americans dealing with metabolic syndrome –a combination of conditions that can include type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, cholesterol imbalance, and high triglyceride levels— it’s clear the U.S. needs berberine. It’s a natural compound that can address all of these issues, effectively. But I have new news on a recent plant based system that addresses the past difficulty with absorbing berberine. I’ve got good news and more good news!

Prevent Disease with CoQ10

Ref. #144

CoQ10 is present in virtually every cell in your body. But aging, medications, genetics, and strenuous physical activity deplete our natural levels of this nutrient. That’s why I think everyone should add CoQ10 (also known as ubiquinone) or its bioactive form, ubiquinol, to their regimens. Here’s important news everyone can use.

The Power of Pomegranate

Ref. #0091

Whether you’re concerned about reducing the potential of cancer, shoring up your antioxidant defenses, heart function, and immune system, reducing inflammation, or simply supporting the millions of tasks your body must perform each day, a strong pomegranate seed oil, rich in omega-5 fatty acid, combined with fruit extract is a powerful choice—and the right one for your health. Here’s what you need to know to make it a part of your daily regimen.

The Power of CoQ10: Fuel for Your Cellular Engines

Ref. #0200

If you had to name an “engine” that powers the activity of virtually every cell in your body, it would be the mitochondria. Because it is ubiquitous, and found everywhere in the body, a crucial factor in fueling that engine is “ubiquinone”. You’re probably most familiar with its other name, coenzyme Q10, also known as “CoQ10”. CoQ10 helps spark the process of moving the electrons in the mitochondria to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the natural “gasoline” or “battery” that powers our body at a microscopic level. Of all the cells in the body, the heart contains the most mitochondria, but the brain needs impressive amounts of CoQ10, too.

Cholesterol and Heart Disease: A Phony Issue

Ref. #0202

By Mary Enig, PhD “The Soft Science of Dietary Fats,” by Gary Taubes, in the March 30, 2001 issue of Science,1 exposes the shenanigans of the 1970s McGovern Senate Committee staff and the follow-on by various government agencies that gave us the anti-fat, anti-cholesterol dietary goals and guidelines. This exposé adds to the material in “The Oiling of America”2 by Enig and Fallon and The Cholesterol Myths3 by Ravnskov. Taken together, these works provide substantial food for thought.
