Somewhere along the way, we were convinced that dandelions were nothing more than pesky weeds to be eradicated...while we were also told to eat more meat—any kind, as long as it provided protein... Yet high cholesterol sweeps the bodies in this nation. Don't be fooled. Dandelion greens are a absolute nutritional powerhouse, packed with vitamins and antioxidants that can nourish the body, and specifically manage cholesterol.
