The results showed definite lowering of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or 'bad cholesterol') and an increase in blood antioxidant activity in patients from the two groups who drank the juice. For a month, one group received a daily supplement of 100 milliliters of the juice, a second received 200 milliliters, and a third - the control group - received none. Ranging in age from 43 to 71, the group was divided into three sub-groups of 24 each.
