 STOP: PLANT STANOLS/STEROLS MAY BE DEADLY TO YOUR HEALTH April 21, 2010

I began taking Benecol four years ago and I'm now terrified. Stanols/sterols may harden arteries. They may clog heart valves. Yes, they will lower your cholesterol but cholesterol may in fact be the least of your problems. [...]
There are multiple recent studies showing the possibility that this stuff is collecting in your arteries. The fact that this company does not mention THIS EXTREME, EXTREME DANGER is disgusting. A few years back they cut in half the amount of stanols in their margarine, obviously fully aware of the possibility they were damaging millions of hearts. PLEASE HEED THIS WARNING. Unfortunately, I only recently found out about it.
Also, you may notice you're developing xanthelasma around your eyes.
Update: I've just received my blood tests back. I have significantly elevated campesterol levels which could only come from taking this product. This puts me at a much higher risk of heart attack. If you are taking this stuff, demand your money back and stop taking it immediately!

 Benecol tastes good April 6, 2010

The product is tasty, which is good since I have cut out sweets. Have not had a blood test to confirm that the product actually does have any effect on my cholesterol count. My problem now is that I am trying to reorder and nobody at Amazon can provide any idea of when the product will be in stock. Almost out. Will have to order from some site other than Amazon.

This product was recommended to a group of us ladies by a cardiologist who spoke at one of our meetings. She said her patients were getting fantastic results taking this to help them lower their cholesterol (LDL levels). My LDL needs to be lowered by 20 points and I don't want to take medication. So, I decided to give this a try. I have taken it for two months but it will be a few more months before I have my cholesterol level checked. At that time, I will know if this works. In addition to taking this, I've been eating steel cut oatmeal for breakfast and have cut way back on beef.

For a health product, why does this contain high fructose corn syrup ? The additive provides no value to a person and according to current research may actually be harmful. Benecol should offer it sugar free. If Coke & Pepsi can offer sugar free products, why can't Benecol ?
