Comprehensive Library Of Resveratrol News

Modern medicine becomes more and more disingenuous every day. Expensive cures preferred over more effective and less problematic natural remedies. An example of this is presented below. A report published at Science Daily shows that white blood cells called macrophages accumulate cholesterol in their attempt to remove excesses from the circulatory system. However, cholesterol over-bloated macrophages will become what are called foam cells that then trigger inflammation within arteries. So researchers claim they have altered an old problematic drug to facilitate exit (efflux) of cholesterol from macrophages. It’s heralded as a breakthrough. But they ignore the fact that resveratrol, a natural molecule, does the same thing. See the report below published in 2006 showing resveratrol limits cholesterol accumulation in human macrophages. By the way, the researchers are conceding their long-held idea of lowering cholesterol production in the liver has been a misdirection. — Copyright 2012 Resveratrolnews.com
