Guest guest Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Cher John, I've found this for you: Shiitake has been shown to reduce serum cholesterol. The fiber in Shiitake is 80% Chitin. This is the strong material that makes up such things as the shell of a flea egg and the body of shellfish. In a paper published in 1985 in Japan it was shown that Chitin lowers serum cholesterol. Shiitake also contains eritadenine. A 1971 test has shown that eritadenine decreased cholesterol between 5% and 10%. Another cholesterol-fighting compound in Shiitake is named lentinacin. The name is derived from the scientific name of the Shiitake, Lentinus edodes. According to the East West Journal, shiitake extracts have produced a reduction in serum cholesterol of 25 to 45 percent in the blood of rats on high cholesterol diets. Shiitake accelerates the processing of cholesterol in the liver. Tests show a significant protective effect in the liver of test rats that have been subjected to liver damaging chemicals. And think that I have a kit at home that I don'T use..LOL Avec amour, Brigitte John Ybarra [deuteronomy2929] January 13, 2004 7:51 PMherbal remedies Subject: Re: Herbal Remedies - recipes I've heard that Shiitake mushrooms are good for the liver.
