ARJ, Just a quick glance @ the link and it suggest that Red Yeast Rice, no longer contains Lovastatin, or did I misread? I take Crestor(5mg low dose)

Steve
Yes, I saw that. here is the quote:

When the FDA discovered that red yeast rice contained a substance found in prescription drugs, it banned red yeast rice products containing lovastatin. In August, 2007, the FDA issued a warning that several red yeast rice products still contained lovastatin. The manufacturers of these products have since recalled these products.

The FDA only issued a warning (in this country, I assume)so who knows!
