I'm Cautious...
About many things and do all I can not to be taken in by hype that can turn out to be untrue but...the following appears in the Daily Telegraph newspaper today and I suspect as a National Paper it will be careful to promote or advise readers to partake in anything that could be dodgy.
Therefore, as I have a medical condition that means I have a very high cholesterol reading of 11. something or other and I try to eat healthily to reduce this(plus take a daily blood pressure tablet)I am seriously thinking of ordering some of this product. I hope my local supermarket may consider stocking it because otherwise it would mean a taxi ride(adding £20 to any I buy)and a round trip of 14 miles.
The only good news is that I can order online direct from the manufacturer but the minimum I can order including delivery is 12 bottles at a cost of £31. That seems a lot of money to part with but broken down I suppose we're talking approx £2.50 a bottle. Then it does not seem quite so bad. I know it's not really the case but ordering direct, avoiding the taxi fare almost makes it look as though I am actually only paying £7 for the juice. Of course I have not decided that I will order. And if Beetroot is so good maybe buying some and eating it, any should be beneficial(and cheaper too)
Should I do so...I will of course let you know and...review it. As for whether I feel any benefit, that can only be known by having tests done by the medical profession who can then tell me if I can stop "taking the tablets!"

I have no connection with any of the above and I am not saying that you should purchase any of these items but I found it interesting.

Gildy, is that cholesterol reading right?...or what scale are you on? I ask because my cholesterol is 'normal' and is 200mg/dl which falls bang smack in the 'normal' range (130 - 220) The other method is millimoles/litre (molecular weight instead of grams etc)
To convert mmol/l of glucose to mg/dl, multiply by 18 or vice versa: i.e. convert mg/dl of glucose to mmol/l, divide by 18...
...so my reading would be dah dah darrrr...11
So your mg reading would be 198 which is not low but well within the 'normal/good' range. Rather than cause a kafuffle I would just siggest you mention it to the doc next time you see him.
