It might be helpful if your doctor would give you a "prescription" to get a coronary calcium scan (CAC) at your local hospital. It's painless, 10-minute or less CT scan of your coronary arteries and can give you a number between zero to above 300. Zero means no plaque observed; higher sco...

Thanks for posting the link to the study, Susan.

I don't understand how so many products can be proven to kill bad bacteria but not the good bacteria we want. HI circ!
