The only reason they did the study was to state the conclusion that they already knew they would find. They designed the study to show "proof" that the supplements don't work. These flawed studies have been used for years by big pharma and broadcasted widely by mainstream media. Big pharma practically owns the mainstream media. Big pharma has captured every step of the process, including the universities where the research is carried out to the peer review process and publishing. As a nutritionist, I've seen this happen for about 30 years but Covid has helped expose this problem to more people. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching and for commenting! I remember when the headlines were "St. John's Wort Doesn't Work!" when the study looked at the wrong indication for it. Drives me nuts. I usually stick to plants and mushrooms in my vids, but this study and it's publicity just irked me as both a scientist and an herbalist. An aside, when I did university research years ago, my data was my data regardless of whether it supported the hypothesis. Same with my colleagues. That said, it was largely NIH funded and not industry funded. And mostly basic science and not clinical.
Interesting that the study found statins lower ldl after just 28 days. I took statins and got tested after 3 months and indeed my ldl numbers had dropped. But maybe the numbers had improved after just one or two months.
Hey Raul! I don't make any specific recommendations outside of consultations, but you might look into the warming spices in your kitchen cabinet. Sometimes people are just less "cold hardy" than others, but sometimes there may be other issues at hand (no pun intended....really)
@@annamarijaheltphdherbalist800 Yes, thanks. Will have to take a closer look at this study. Not exactly sure what the purpose of the study is. My understanding is that there is already agreement within the medical community that statins do lower LDL and that lower LDL correlates to lower cardiac/stroke events. Nothing new there. If the purpose of the study was to study the effect of supplements on LDL levels, 28 days, as you point out, is much too short.

It's quite possible : )
My hands get cold quickly in cold weather; more quickly than the other people I'm with.
Are there any herbs to help with this? 🤔

@@Better_Call_Raul Yep...that's pretty much my take as well.
