They also are low in saturated fat. All of Heartbar products are infused with plant sterols, which are proven to help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol when eaten as part of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat are plant sterols?\u003cbr\u003ePlant sterols, also known as phytosterols, are plant-based compounds that can help lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, a.k.a. \"bad cholesterol.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat clinical studies have been conducted to validate your cholesterol-lowering claim?\u003cbr\u003eHeartbars' cholesterol-lowering efficacy in humans was established by a Brandeis University clinical trial. The results of this study were published in the Journal of Nutrition in March 2004 and showed a significant LDL (\"bad\") cholesterol reduction of phytosterol-enriched snacks without affecting HDL ('good\") cholesterol.The science supporting the ability of plant sterols to reduce cholesterol is overwhelming and has been endorsed by the American Heart Association for individuals who have high cholesterol. Additionally, there is substantial science behind the ability of oats to reduce cholesterol. However, the plant sterols in Heartbar are the primary cholesterol-lowering ingredient in our products. Further studies from the University of Toronto show that cholesterol-lowering foods are most effective when combined, supporting the use of plant sterols with oats and fiber in Heartbar products.
