Researchers found that niacin had a beneficial effect on the plaque buildup in the walls of the arteries that supply blood to the brain.  “Niacin had a superior effect on the artery wall,” says Dr Allan Taylor, a cardiologist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, who headed the study.  “The take-home message is clear; niacin should be the choice when considering add-on therapy.”
