Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if combination therapy with a "statin" medication and two
additional agents that work differently than "statin" medications can further lower the
so-called "bad cholesterol." One therapy is a prescription drug approved by the Food and Drug
Administration to treat high cholesterol (Welchol). The other therapy is Minute Maid Heart
Wise orange juice. This study juice is available in supermarkets and contains plant sterols
that have been shown to lower cholesterol.
