ARE YOU AMONG THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WITH HIGH CHOLESTEROL?

Fact: One in three adults in the U.S. has high cholesterol, which can affect anyone at any age, and can negatively impact heart health and cardiovascular function over time. People with high cholesterol have a higher risk of developing heart disease compared to those with optimal levels. Among the culprits are genetics and diet. Some people are predisposed to high cholesterol and produce more of it in the liver, while others get too much from the foods they eat—foods such as bacon, hot dogs, and sausages that also contain high amounts saturated fat. These foods may sit well on your palate, but without proper measures to control intake and reduce body cholesterol levels, they can lead to some major health challenges.

† Products providing 800 mg of plant sterols and stanols daily, consumed with two different meals as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol Reduction Complex provides 1,000 mg of plant sterols and stanols per serving, and 2,000 mg daily when used as directed.

DID YOU KNOW?

• A 10% reduction of LDL ("bad") cholesterol equates to a 10%–20% decrease in heart disease risk.
  
  
• If you eat foods such as pizza, hamburgers, and steak on a regular basis, you may be increasing your chances for developing high cholesterol.
  
  
• The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends consum- ing no more than 300 mg of cholesterol a day; those with heart disease should consume less than 200 mg of cholesterol.
  
  
• According to the AHA, eating one egg for breakfast, drinking two cups of coffee with 1 tablespoon of half-and-half each, lunching on 4 ounces of lean skinless turkey breast with one tablespoon of mayonnaise, and eating a 6-ounce serving of broiled short loin porterhouse steak for dinner yields 510 mg of dietary cholesterol. That's nearly twice the recommended daily amount!
  
  
• Men tend to have higher cholesterol than women. However, after menopause, cholesterol levels in women increase due to a decline in estrogen production.

PLANT STEROLS AND STANOLS— THE SMART CHOICE

So how, exactly, do plant sterols and stanols work?

1. Plant sterols and stanols are ingested from food or supplements.
   
   
2. Because they are structurally similar to cholesterol, plant sterols and stanols compete for absorption in the intestines.
   
   
3. Plant sterols and stanols bind to receptors in the intestines, leaving cholesterol behind.
   
   
4. The net result is that less cholesterol is absorbed by the body, and less ends up in the bloodstream.
