And betulin works particularly better than the statin drug  lovastatin at lowering cholesterol, except without the harmful side  effects.<\/p><p>Dr. Bao-Liang Song and his colleagues from SIBC tested  the effects of betulin and found that it specifically targets the genes  responsible for making harmful blood fats like triglycerides by  effectively lowering their activity and protecting against disease. And  since the compound is \"abundant in birch bark,\" it has the potential to  revolutionize the way blood fat levels are managed.<\/p><p>Concerning  cholesterol levels, betulin was shown to lower lipid levels more  effectively than lovastatin. And insulin-wise, betulin helps keep artery  walls free and clear of build-ups and blockages, also known as  atherosclerosis. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dreddyclinic.com\/forum\/viewtopic.php?f=19&amp;t=24748&amp;sid=86e7c398065a1b46cf07074ce12d8e9d\">Read more...<\/a><br><a href=\"http:\/\/www.india-herbs.com\/aff\/dreddyclinic\/ayurtox\"><span><br>Ayurtox for Body Detoxification <\/span><\/a><\/p><div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.longevitymedicine.tv\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/3056d_19559880-7022343794179604735?l=integrated-medicine.blogspot.com\" alt=\"\" style=\"padding-left:10px; padding-right: 10px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers from the Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences (SIBC) in China have identified a powerful compound in birch bark called betulin that helps lower cholesterol and prevent both diabetes and obesity.
