Question 1

does oatmeal in water help lower cholesterol ?

Accepted Answer

Wive's tale: Yes, but only to the extent that you're eating oatmeal instead of less healthy food. It doesn't magically make the fats you've eaten go away.

Question 2

does vinegar, cider and water reduce cholesterol?

Accepted Answer

Not A Rat's Chance: Quote: "There have been many lofty claims about the miraculous healing powers of apple cider vinegar, and many people do seem to be experiencing some health benefits. However, much of what you read about this product on the Internet is overstated, or simply unfounded." And if you are a rat, it may affect your cholesterol (a rat study), but really now, I think it's a marvelously stinky placebo.

Question 3

i'm taking apple cider viniger with water currently.   is it supposed to help reduce cholesterol level?

Accepted Answer

Not proven: If you have high cholesterol, you should consult a doctor for life style changes and may be statin treatment. Vinegar is not likely to have a beneficial effect.

Question 4

best way tol lower cholesterol ?

Accepted Answer

DIET: Dieting is the best first step.  Vegetarian and mediterranean diets prolong life.  If lipids are still abnormal, your doctor might start therapy with a statin drug.  If a statin is not tolerated, the dose and frequency of dose can be lowered, and you can be started on coq10.  For persons intolerant to statins, binding resins can be tried.
