The New Zealand Ministry of Health and Auckland University have released an
alarming new health report stating that 11,000 deaths per year could be avoided,
simply by improving diet and lifestyle factors. The number one risk factor for
premature death is tobacco smoking, which kills 5000 people every year, followed
closely by high cholesterol levels, which account for an avoidable 4700 New
Zealanders dying each year. Cholesterol Manager is a nutraceutical containing
phytosterols from the conifer tree. These are plant compounds with a very
similar chemical structure to cholesterol. Phytosterols are able to block the
absorption of dietary cholesterol, reducing LDL cholesterol levels by up to 24%
over a period of 4-8 weeks. Now The Journal of the American Medical
Association (JAMA) has released a study that shows plant sterols may lower
cholesterol as much as cholesterol-lowering medications (statins). After just
four weeks, the low-fat diet with added plant sterol esters and fibre led to a
28.6 percent decrease in `bad' low-density lipoprotein (LDL) form of
cholesterol. Those taking statins had a 30.9 percent
reduction. Supplementation of plant sterols may be an option in lowering
cholesterol for those who prefer not to take cholesterol-lowering medications
such as statins. Thompson's Cholesterol Manager can be taken safely alongside
any pharmaceutical medications. These plant compounds have been tested
extensively at much greater than the recommended dosage without any of the
adverse effects.
