Plant Sterols
Plant sterols are a type of lipid found in plants, similar to cholesterol which is found in animals. They are beneficial to health and can help reduce cholesterol levels when consumed. Plant sterols are found in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, fruits, and grains. Plant sterols can be consumed through fortified foods, such as margarine and yogurt, or through supplements. Plant sterols are believed to help lower cholesterol levels by blocking the absorption of dietary cholesterol into the bloodstream. They also appear to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and may help reduce the risk of certain cancers. Plant sterols are generally considered safe and have few side effects. However, as with any dietary supplement, it is important to consult a health care professional before taking them.
