Summary
This study tested whether drinking a calcium-bicarbonate mineral water called Lete can lower LDL (bad) cholesterol in healthy adults with high cholesterol. 160 participants drank either the test water or a regular low-mineral water for four months. The goal was to see if the mineral water reduced cholesterol levels compared to the control.

calcium-bicarbonate mineral water
What this could lead to
