L-Carnitine and ASHD: We have entered a whole new era where genetics and the interaction with our intestinal environment become increasingly clear. Not only l-carnitine (substance in red meat - carne is latin for meat) but more recently l-lecithine have been shown to be converted by intestinal bacteria to atherosclerosis promoting substances, which are than absorbed. Lots more to come...
