Article Synopsis
- Polyphenols, found in plants and drinks, can help protect against heart disease by stopping bad cholesterol (LDL) from getting damaged.
- Studies show that different types of polyphenols can stick to LDL particles and keep them safe from harm, even when there’s a lot of other proteins around.
- When people consume foods like red wine, olive oil, and coffee, these polyphenols can be found in their blood, helping protect their hearts by getting into cells and fighting off damage.
