Guest guest Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Jo Ann, Question? Would chewing the candied ginger root that comes in coin shaped slices add up to a necessary level of substance to help clear up chloresterol, and maybe help avoid arrythmas? NG Hi Nora, Well it just depends on the source, really. I have obtained some organic ginger slices from the health food store which in moderation may be beneficial. However, unless it specifically states that the sugar is not " refined " , it may just add to your problems (triglycerides)in the long run! I used the ginger slices myself, initially in herbal teas. It is a more processed, weaker form of ginger actually and to be truthful, I doubt that it would provide much of a cholesterol lowering benefit, although it may help with digestive problems or nausea if its not that severe. The fresh raw ginger root which you obtain from the produce aisle at your local grocery or health food stores is the best way to get ginger root. Sometimes if you search around you can obtain the younger more tender roots which are easier to grate up and work with. Then again it is just as effective in tea form (either bulk form or teabags are just as good). If you think grating ginger is difficult, you should try coconut! :-) Cheers, JoAnn JoAnn Guest mrsjo- DietaryTi- www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
