In what form are you taking this? Reason I ask is that back a year or so ago I saw in one of my "wellness e-mail alerts" that this was "supposedly" available in tablet form and had very good results in lowering one's Cholesterol levels. Turns out that further research found the the pharms had this form banned by the FDA. Any surprise? Have a friend in Taiwan look into this and he found that it is sold there in tablet form. Kind of a vitamin suppliment. The interesting thing is guess where the product is made? Good old USA. Couldn't find the pics on my lap top this evening, but I know they're on my PC at the office.<BR/><BR/>Norman<BR/>nnn1 at aol dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-57426519935670736972008-02-12T07:28:00.000-07:002008-02-12T07:28:00.000-07:00Kid-friendly...good catch, Dan.Bob, I'm so happy t...Kid-friendly...good catch, Dan.<BR/><BR/>Bob, I'm so happy to know I didn't make that up. I'll be curious to hear your outcome. Red yeast rice didn't work for me, but mine had been climbing for the last 25 years.<BR/><BR/>Wendy, you know I was tired last night if I didn't point out LUAU...and yes, I have. We went to the one in Lahaina on our first trip...rated THE best luau on all the islands. The food was good...the entertainment was incredible!Linda Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816794362786044423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3305840857858959680.post-55300410901095983552008-02-12T07:03:00.000-07:002008-02-12T07:03:00.000-07:00I liked this puzzle's edginess, and the theme was ...I liked this puzzle's edginess, and the theme was clever. There was a fair amount of crosswordese, but it wasn't oppressive, and the cluing was inventive. Especially liked cluing for GRAMMAR and ACROSS. Glad BOAS wasn't clued in regard to a drag queen or whatever the usual is. <BR/><BR/>SIR was fab, yes, and that reference is going to come up in my blog soon, I sense! <BR/><BR/>We're about to get dumped on here in the great red-&-blue state of Ohio, and I'm feeling like a huge CRAB.

I was stumped about the bottom center until I got TACIT and then it all fell into place.<BR/><BR/>Kid friendly puzzle with references to "SPY KIDS" (14A), Bullwinkle (21A), and LEGO (58D)<BR/><BR/>Loved the theme. Once I got the first one it just got easy.<BR/><BR/>DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
