A study recently revealed that around 12% of adults over the age of 20 suffer from high LDL cholesterol. This is often treated through mainstream pharmaceutical interventions, which unfortunately can lead to unwanted side effects such as liver problems and muscle damage. New research is emerging that supports the idea that those who are not deficient in vitamin D end up having more stable LDL, HDL, and triglyceride readings, ultimately lowering their risk for heart disease.
