Not sure if this question goes in this thread or another (Natto is a hot topic in this one), but I am curious if anyone has seen elevated cholesterol and LDL counts after staying steady on Natto for 45+ days?
The reason I ask is I had results back from a panel done on this Monday (6/10) and my Cholesterol was crazy high, 294 and ldl of 221. My Dr chewed me out and thought I didn't fast accordingly so I redid the panel yesterday (6/12) and today I got the results (after fasting for 14 hours) and Cholesterol is still way up there at 278 and ldl at 211.
Scratching my head here as no real change in diet over the past year. I had a panel done this past Feb which showed an increase in Cholesterol and ldl's (201, 138) but I attributed that to diet. And possibly the consistency of taking Creon prior to eating and actually absorbing my food into the system versus just passing it through my digestion tract.
So with that, anyone else seen an increase after taking Natto? The only research thus far that I see where this is mentioned is here:
Nattokinase Supplementation and Cardiovascular Risk Factors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
On the plus side, my blood pressure is low which can be attributed to Natto as the last three nurses in the past couple of months have positively commented on it.
Thanks!
