Tart cherry juice for high cholersterol / triglcyerides

[Guest guest]

I saw this on the news tonight. I love it when they investigate using food

rather than pills to treat health problems! Too bad I don't qualify for the

study (BMI is too low). In the video, they're using the Just Juice Tart Cherry,

which is SCD legal :-)

Will drinking juice lower fat in the bloodstream?

PHOENIX - What if you could lower the amount of fat in your bloodstream with a

glass of juice each day?

For many, it would mean eliminating expensive pills.

A group at ASU is out to see if it will work.

" We're looking at the effects of 100 percent tart cherry juice on the markers of

inflammation, " says graduate student Coles. " I never realized how much

diet could affect disease until now. "

The belief is that tart cherry juice will lower triglycerides, or fat in the

bloodstream.

" I think there are so many people on lipid lowering pills. But this is natural

and you won't have the same side effects. I think this might really help a lot

of people in the future, " she states from her lab on the east campus.

As the group gets ready for testing, you can try it out today on your own.

Coles suggests eight ounces.

She says you can split it up throughout the day so it is easier to digest.

You can also split it with another mixer, like water.

If juice isn't your thing, she says the raw cherries might give you the same

results.

" It's always interesting to see how diet can affect chronic disease markers, "

she says.

You can also help out by actually taking part in the study. They need about 50

people.

I was addicted to tart cherries earlier this year. Am stilleating them but not at quite the same rate. I just love them.
