Consumption Of Garlic Does Not Lower Cholesterol

Garlic (Allium sativum) has long been used as a cholesterol-lowering agent and used together with statins and other lipid-lowering medications for patients with hypercholesterolemia. Crushing garlic induces formation of allicin through action of alliinase enzymes of alliin. Allicin inhibits cholesterol synthesis in vitro. Thus, many scientists believe that consumption of garlic will help humans reduce their blood cholesterol levels.

However in a recent study done by Gardner and his associates, consumption of a specified amount of raw garlic, powdered garlic supplement, and aged garlic supplement did not produce clinically or statistically significant decrease of high density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride levels, or total cholesterol-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio.

The study, in a parallel design trial, involved 192 adults, aged 30-65 years old, with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels between 130-190 mg/dL (3.36-4.91 mmol/L), triglyceride levels less than 250 mg/dL (here.

I think the study isn’t enough to refute age-old claims of benefits from the good ol’ garlic, whether it be taken raw or in capsules. What should be taken into consideration though is that consumption of garlic alone and without other lipid-lowering medications will not lower the blood cholesterols in patients with dyslipidemia. Furthermore, the population used in this study (aged 39-65 years old) were probably those who’ve had not observed proper nutrition since their earlier adult years.

Also, one cannot discount evidence that suggest garlic may be of help in preventing formation of blood clots in clogged arteries, leading to prevention of atherosclerotic heart diseases.

More studies with bigger sample population should perhaps be done to verify the results of this study.

Kris Aquino’s Hypocrisy, and The Lost Tomb of Jesus

Before anything else - before you accuse me of misplacing the blame - Kris Aquino’s baby has my sympathy. The three principal players involved in the issue all have my ire. And while it strikes me as funny and WTFing that the “other woman” says she doesn’t mean to hurt Kris by broadcasting her so-called relationship with the latter’s husband, I’m concentrating on Kris because I’m rubbed off more by what she said.

how do you want your Linux flavored??

…with chocolate??

again, with CNET TV…

an ice-cream vending company, Moo Bella, which dispenses ice-cream out of a vending machine… then again, that is not very innovative, but for the fact that the vending machine “scoops out” in 12 different flavors of ice cream… much like Linux, huh??

this is sweet…

according to todays news, Manny Pacquiao is now having second thoughts whether he’d push through with his intentions of running for congressman of his home province… this is because when he went to one of his sorties in his hometown, he was coldly received by fans who, previously, were screaming simply by the sight of him… hahahaha… that is really so sweet…

Tip: Understanding women

February 25, 2007

Men are naturally competitive… especially with other men. We all know that.

Women are not. We only become ”competitive” with other women… when it comes to men’s attention. And that about sums it up. Women will not be pushed into a competition especially by the people they love. And we will never respond to a push manifested by negative reinforcement.
