The doctors must have been demonizing flush Niacin when my cholesterol was discovered. I suspect that it started about the time statins hit the market. All I heard after statins came along was about how dangerous niacin is. I’m seriously considering giving it another go. I can’t find an honest doctor so it’s up to niacin, the tea I make, or other OTC supplements.
The beautiful thing about my cholesterol is that I have my arteries scanned on my dime regularly and so far, no plaque buildup.
