Seems like you are in the minority, but if it works for you, great. I
know a half dozen people that tried them and had pains in the legs,
back, etc. I tried them and after a few weeks, will never touch
another. It did nothing for my cholesterol, but I could barely walk.
I had better result eating pistachios at lunch.

Keep an eye out for the pains. They creep up on you over time.
