ALERT! These pills can cause thrombi, clots, and heart attacks

Oats are high in beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that binds cholesterol and helps remove it from the body.
The FDA has approved a health claim that “3 grams of soluble fiber from oats per day may reduce the risk of heart disease.”
Clinical studies show oatmeal can lower LDL cholesterol by 5–10% in just six weeks.
How to include them:

Eat 1–2 servings of steel-cut or rolled oats daily.
Avoid instant packets with added sugars.
Top with berries, nuts, or spices like cinnamon for extra benefits.
Should You Stop Taking Cholesterol Medication?

Never stop taking prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.

Statins and other cholesterol-lowering drugs:

Reduce heart attack risk by 25–35%
Lower stroke risk by up to 48%
Are recommended by the American Heart Association and the World Health Organization for high-risk patients
