You don't have to remember to take it and you don't have to measure amounts: it's a food you would normally use on a daily basis. Any health researcher will tell you that it's hard to come by a product, especially an everyday household oil, that both raises HDL and lowers LDL. Grapeseed oil, brand new on the American scene, does just that. Dr. Nash, research cardiologist at the SUNY Science Center in New York, published a study in Arteriosclerosis, revealing the beneficial HDL-effect of grapeseed oil. The research shows that just one ounce daily is all that is necessary for this beneficial outcome. According to both the Helsinki and Framingham Heart Studies performed on thousands of patients over several years, each percentage increase in HDL affects a very significant decrease in the incidence of cardiac events. As a bonus, triglycerides also decrease. A second report recently confirmed Nash's findings, adding that grapeseed oil reduced LDL in just three weeks. To the best of current knowledge, grapeseed oil, a high linoleic product, is the only food known to raise HDL and lower LDL. Linoleic acid is one of two essential fatty acids that you cannot manufacture yourself - you must eat it! You may know linoleic acid as Omega 6. Studies indicate that linoleic is sadly deficient in our diets. Grapeseed oil is 76-percent linoleic acid! Low levels of HDL are also related to impotence. In fact, the results of the Massachusetts Male Aging Study show that as HDL levels decrease, the probability of impotence increases. GRAPESEED OIL IS THE ONLY FOOD KNOWN TO RAISE HDL AND LOWER LDL.
