This article features Good Morning America's medical editor, Dr. Marie Savard, who explains the five super foods you can eat to dramatically lower your cholesterol -- by as much as 30 percent.
One of the five things she discusses is eating more plant stanols (saturated plant sterol derivatives). She says, "This may be something you haven't heard a lot about, but you need to incorporate plant stanols into your diet. It is proven to lower your bad cholesterol. Plant stanols alone can lower your LDL cholesterol by as much as 15 percent".
The FDA has approved the claim (click here to read it straight from Wikipedia) that, "Foods containing at least 0.4 grams per serving of plant sterols, eaten twice a day with meals for a daily total intake of at least 0.8 grams and as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease".
Two servings (4 ounces) of MonaVie Pulse contain 0.8 grams of plant sterols!
