Guest guest Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 The point of using the spread is to receive the plant sterols, they can reduce cholesterol 5-10 points. Excerpt of article below: We also fed that diet to our positive control, so that group had the very healthy diet, plus a statin. For our portfolio diet group, we took the NCEP diet as a template, but we increased the soluble fiber, soy and plant and vegetable proteins, almonds and plant sterols. Each of those four components has independently demonstrated 5 percent to 10 percent reductions in cholesterol in clinical studies. And the FDA now has health claims for each of those four components Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds good, are they as effective, sounds like it would be close to $10 a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
