Mary Lowther of California knows how Watkins SoyNilla can lower cholesterol!
In February 2001 my cholesterol level was a whopping 578, and my doctor wanted me to go on medication right away, but I asked if I could try Watkins SoyNilla first. The doctor agreed, but demanded that I get tested again in a week. After using Watkins SoyNilla for just one week, my cholesterol dropped to 520. After only one month of using SoyNilla, my cholesterol dropped to 361; six months after starting SoyNilla it dropped to 349; and after a year of SoyNilla it went down to 327. At the same time, my LDL, the bad cholesterol, and my triglycerides went way down, while my HDL, the good cholesterol, went up! My doctor explained that based on these results my risk of heart disease, or cardiac risk, went from 8.6, the highest risk for a heart attack, down to 4.2, a low risk for a heart attack. Thanks Watkins, for literally saving my life!"º
