Get your daily cholesterol lowering effect from this Delicious One a Day Snack Bar full of wholegrain oats, tasty berries and yogurt coating.
Your Delicious One a Day: With just one Benecol bar a day you can lower your cholesterol in 2-3 weeks thanks to our unique plant stanols.
Plant stanol ester has been shown to lower cholesterol. High cholesterol is a risk factor in the development of coronary heart disease. A daily intake of 1.5-3.0 g plant stanols lowers cholesterol in 2-3 weeks. Each bar provides 1.6 g of plant stanols, so 1 bar a day lowers cholesterol when consumed as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle, which includes your '5 a day'.

Too much sugar!

1 stars

Bought these for my mum as she has high cholesterol, but she didn’t like them as they’re too sweet. These bars are a good idea in theory, although each bar only contains 1.6g of plant sterols (against the recommended daily amount of 2-3g if you’re trying to lower cholesterol). They contain a lot of sugars (glucose syrup is listed as second ingredient) and according to the box, each 40g bar contains 13g of sugars. Everyone I know who has high cholesterol is also overweight, so these bars are no good if you’re trying to lose weight or have other health conditions that sugar exasperate (such as arthritis/gout). If the makers could re-work the recipe, removing loads of the sugars, these would probably be a lot better.
