I recently read an article that if you take a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar and water that would lower your cholesterol. Is this true and has anybody tried this? Also how about lemon juice and a cup of boiling water?

I never have heard of that. I have heard that you can lose weight.

Thank u Lady. I just thought maybe i read it somewhere. I know it suppose to help in weight loss. I guess I need to keep trying. How i hate the statins.

I don't like the statins either. Often wonder what the long term side effects are from statins. A doctor told me to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables or take metamucil. They both gave flatulence rrreally bad.

MY cholesterol had dropped a little, but not enough. my tc is now 298 hdl 51, ldl 21 and trigs 175, my ratio is 5.8. I need to lower the ldl from 212 to under 100. So far, i've tried exercise, fish oil and diet. Someone on this board suggested cholest-off. I will be buying some this week and see what happens. Good luck in your battle.

btw the reason i thought vinegar would work is that i read an article where this dr drank lemon juice and warm water every am. She claimed it jumped started her system and liver.
