Cholesterol/LipidsPolicosanol

The most disappointing CAM in 2006

Most disappointing: Why does policosanol reliably lower cholesterol in Cuba but nowhere else?

The positive studies have been primarily sponsored by one company in Cuba and conducted by one research center in Havana.

But at McGill and elsewhere, the results have been disappointing.
