Have you lowered cholesterol without statins?

I make mine with: vinegar, olive oil, salt, mustard, garlic, an egg yolk, and a dash of pepper. It's fun to get creative with your favorite ingredients.

Many of the cheaper salad dressings you find at the store are made with soybean oil, not olive oil. Soybean oil may be the worst thing for you in them, at least in terms of heart health.

I thought I heard the fish oil - prostate connection was debunked, no? My dr to.d me to take 2 fish oil tablets a day

have no idea about prostate health and fish oil. That fish oil is supposedly good for joint inflammation is what seems to be "in" these days. Don't know if that is true or not either. my dog takes it for her coat health. I can say it works wonders there, and she seems to tolerate it well gastrointestinally. It makes me burp, stinks and can be hard to swallow. Also, bad gas, so I do not partake. there are some products who claim to add a coating to the tablets to minimize at least some of these negatives. have not tried them .

I was in Greenville, SC last December and visited a shop called Oil and Garlic that local family recommended. I spent an insane amount but came out with tomato vinegar, chardonnay vinegar, roasted garlic grapeseed oil and pepperoncini-infused olive oil. Wow. I may never buy bottled salad dressings again. I'm going back in July and they refill their own bottles, so I'll get a break on the price.
