What Is the Best Statin Cholesterol-Lowering Drug?

There are new cholesterol-lowering drugs that cost up to $5,000 a dose. Which is the safest and most effective statin?

This is the fourth video in an extended series on the critically important topic of how to lower LDL cholesterol, the primary driver of our primary killer. In this series, we take a deep dive into how to lower cholesterol through diet. We’ll explore the Portfolio Diet, plant sterols, and cholesterol-lowering supplements, foods, herbs, and spices, then conclude with my Portfolio Plus Powder recipe “cooking” video.

If you don’t want to wait for all the videos to be released over time, we’ve compiled all the information into my latest book, Lower Cholesterol Naturally with Food (https://nutritionfacts.org/book/portf..., available as a softcover, ebook, and audiobook.
