brenda_strongDoes this look like a woman with a cholesterol problem? Brenda Strong is a longtime vegetarian and yoga instructor (as well as an actress — she was Mary-Alice Young on “Desperate Housewives”). Given her healthy lifestyle, Strong was shocked when a checkup revealed elevated cholesterol levels. “My doctor told me to cut out red meat and start excercising, but I was already on top of all that,” she says. “I didn’t know what else I could do to get my cholesterol down to normal.”

Turns out Metamucil was the solution to Strong’s health dilemma. In 30 days of regular use, her cholesterol readings dropped significantly, to normal levels. But why? Because the supplement is a source of psyllium, a soluble fibre. Yup. Soluble. [geek on]
