Two margarines are proven to help lower your cholesterol numbers: Take Control and Benecol. They do so by blocking the absorption of the cholesterol contained in your food and bile.
Take Control
Margarine is made with plant sterols that are proven to lower both total and LDL cholesterol by up to 14 percent. The plant stanols in Benecol margarine work the same way. Both the National Cholesterol Education Program and the American Heart Association recommend these margarines.
Eat Some Today
Spread these margarines on your toast or bagel in the morning or for a mid-day snack. The only side effect is reduced beta-carotene absorption. To compensate, make sure you eat extra carrots, spinach, sweet red peppers, or sweet potatoes.
Get This Much
In studies, three servings a day of Benecol helped drop total blood cholesterol by an average of 10 percent and LDL cholesterol by 14 percent.
Take Control
Helped drop total cholesterol an average of 6 to 8 percent and LDL by 7 to 10% with one to two servings a day. Check labels for serving size.
