Artichoke leaf extract (ALE) can reduce cholesterol levels in healthy adults, said a research in UK.

Levels dropped six per cent in otherwise healthy adults with raised cholesterol between a group given 1280mg of ALE per day and a control group taking a placebo.


According to lead researcher Dr Rafe Bundy:

"There was a modest, but statistically significant effect detectable between the two groups.

German researchers have been looking into the health properties of artichoke since the 1930s but previous trials were often not as robustly designed.

The results of this trial are encouraging and provide food for thought to conduct a similar trial among less healthy people."


Lowering your cholesterol levels is important as you get older and it will mean you are much less prone to suffering an accident at work.
