Herbs and Spices Lower Triglycerides
A recent study from Penn State spoke to herbs and spices value for lowering triglycerides, which some studies claim are more dangerous even than LDL cholesterol.
Triglyceride levels rise after eating a high-fat meal which can lead to an increase in risk for heart disease.
If a high-antioxidant spice blend is added to the meal, triglyceride levels may be reduced by as much as 30 percent compared to eating an identical meal without the spice blend.
The researchers prepared meals on two separate days for six men between the ages of 30 and 65 who were overweight, but healthy.
The identical meals consisted of chicken, bread, and a dessert biscuit.
But the researchers added two tablespoons of a high antioxidant culinary spice blend to the
test meal.
The spiced meal included garlic powder, rosemary, oregano, cinnamon, cloves, paprika, turmeric, ginger and black pepper.
The researchers followed the participants for three hours after each meal, drawing blood every 30 minutes.
Antioxidant activity in the blood increased by 13 percent after the men ate the test meal, suggesting that the spices may help prevent cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases.

I prefer Krill. But plenty of good fish oil.

would like to have the amounts of the spice, as it only gives the ingredients. Anyone have that?
