The two leading brands of cholesterol-lowering margarine in the US are McNeil's Benecol and Unilever's Take Control. The key to the two spreads' ability to decrease low density lipoprotein cholesterol is plant stanol. Plant stanols, which naturally occur in fruits and vegetables, are created by the hydrogenation of plant sterols.Citation DetailsTitle: Spreading the news.(Foods of Tomorrow)(cholesterol-lowering spreads doing good against regular margarine)Author: Kitty BroihierPublication: Food Processing (Magazine/Journal)Date: September 1, 1999Publisher: Putman Media, Inc.Volume: 60 Issue: 9 Page: 110(1)Distributed by Thomson Gale
