 Benecol Caramel ChewsDec 08, 2007
By Orphan60
Not wanting to resort to "drugs" to manage Cholesterol, I did some research on plant Stanols, and plant Sterols. They both seem to have the ability to lower the cholesterol in your blood. However, based on a Johns Hopkins health alert....plant sterols tend to lose their ability to lower cholesterol, and instead start to appear in the blood them selves. Where as plant STANOLS seem to stay active and continue to lower cholesterol. BENECOL is the only off the shelf item that contains stanols instead of sterols. The Benecol spread is good and tastes fine, but the caramel chews are portable so you can easily take them with you. I would recommend the chews to anyone who wants to keeps tabs on your cholesterol....they are reasonably inexpensive, taste good, and have STANOLS in them...and they are portable. I was able to lower my cholesterol by 80 points by consumming STANOLS and watching my intake of cholesterol....

 Effective at lowering cholesterolMay 14, 2007
By Chipmon
Buy this product. Tell your friends about it. Unfortunately J&J doesn't have a clue of how to market this great product, don't let it slip out of production. I am in club Benecol and haven't received anything. Spread the word, a safer way to lower your cholesterol. Word of mouth is about it, lets hope it works.
Don't expect miracles with Benecol, but if you are borderline, this is a great supplement in addition to diet and exercise. Take at least 2 per day. Expect ~10% lower total cholesterol in a month or two, some have reported more. Could be enough to keep you off the risky statins. However, some report using Benecol and Statins, but I can't vouch for the results. It would be good to hear reports of that combo.

25% Decrease in LDL!Apr 16, 2008
By jpandjf
I have phenomenally high HDL (>100), which is great, but my LDL was creeping up---it got to 160. I'm vegetarian. I cut out nearly all dairy fat, added ~15 almonds/day and ~3g/day of psyllium, and started taking 1 Smart Chew 3 times/day. My HDL remained the same, but my LDL dropped to 120, a 25% decrease! I am a very happy camper!
My only complaint is that the product contains Yellow 6. I've written to the company requesting that they remove it; if enough of us do that, maybe they'll comply.

Bottom line - it worked for meJun 06, 2007

You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management
If you are looking to stay healthy and reduce cholestrol, this product may be just what you need. Best of all, it can be used by those taking cholesterol medications and, if you don't want to use the meds (or can't), this might provide some help. They are tasty and full of plant statins, not medications.
I used them as directed but I don't think they'd work if you aren't also watching your diet and getting a minimum level of exercise - but perhaps they would. I work out 3 times a week (but not too intensely), watch my diet (but I'm not rigid, just common sense) and found these boosted the results I got.

Absolutely Works!Dec 18, 2007
By Stillcookn2
I started using this product by chewing 1 chew after each of my 3 meals a day and 5 weeks later had my lst blood test. The stunning news was my Cholesterol had dropped 43 points and 41 of those points was the LDL, which we call the "Low Down Lipids" because it's the bad stuff in your arteries. That huge drop was due to the Benecol Chews AND without medication. Nothing else in my health regimen had changed except this....so I am very pleased and will stay on these as long as they make them and/or the FDA makes them stop making them because they work!
