Red Yeast Rice comes out of China and Japan but has been banned in the USA because it lowers cholesterol naturally... the pharmaceutical companies don't like this food interfering with their sales of Lipitor, Crestor, etc... I have found sites selling red yeast rice but how do I know it's not some die dumped on plain rice... need a trusted source. Thx

Interesting post. Good luck finding a source.
I don't mean to derail the topic, but I have never heard of red yeast rice. Are there any negative side effects to eating it?

I wasn't aware that this was banned. They sell this in nutrition stores in my area in the usa.

That's a first time for me of hearing about that stuff. Shame really when I read the title I had an image of some sort of red cocaine hahaha.
