| [00:05.12]American researchers say a new, low-fat substitute for butter could reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke for millions of people. [00:17.76]The new food product is made from vegetable oil with added substances called sterol esters. [00:26.15]Sterols are known to reduce harmful cholesterol in the blood. [00:31.97]Harmful cholesterol increases the risk of heart attack. [00:36.81]Cholesterol is found in meat and milk products. [00:42.14]Sterol esters are similar in structure to cholesterol. [00:47.12]However, sterols come from plant oils. [00:50.73]The new,low-fat product is called Take Control. [00:56.32]It contains sterol esters from soybeans. [01:00.58]Take Control is one of two food products designed to reduce cholesterol. [01:07.92]The other,called Benecol, contains plant stanol esters from the wood of pine trees. [01:16.07]The United States Food and Drug Administration approved both products last year. [01:23.67]Earlier studies have shown that eating Benecol for several months reduces harmful cholesterol levels as much as fourteen percent. [01:35.09]The new study involved 224 people with moderate to high levels of harmful cholesterol. [01:45.85]All the people ate a diet of lowfat,low-cholesterol foods for five weeks. [01:53.37]One group of people ate a common low-fat product on bread and other foods. [01:59.56]Another group ate one gram of Take Control daily. [02:05.05]The other group ate two grams of it each day. [02:09.75]Researchers say the harmful cholesterol levels of those who ate Take Control daily dropped more than 8%. [02:18.11]The harmful cholesterol levels of people who had the common low-fat spread rose more than two percent |
