HEALTHY DIETS AND SCIENCE: Compounds richly available in meat can improve heart function

The raison d'etre of this website is to provide you with hard scientific information which may help you make informed decisions in your quest for health (so far I have blogged concise summaries of over 1,500 scientific studies and have had three books published).

My research is mainly focused on the effects of cholesterol, saturated fat and statin drugs on health. If you know anyone who is worried about their cholesterol levels and heart disease, or has been told to take statin drugs you could send them a link to this website, and to my statin or cholesterol or heart disease books.

Patients suffering from congestive heart failure have lowered heart energy production, and higher cell and muscle damage.

Nutritional factors known to be important for these conditions, such as thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, L-carnitine, coenzyme Q10, creatine and taurine are deficient in patients with heart failure.

Meat is a rich source of thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, L-carnitine, coenzyme Q10, creatine and taurine.

Dietary consumption of these compounds in heart failure can significantly restore depleted levels and may result in improvement in heart structure and function as well as exercise capacity.
