In studying results from both chickens and man, Fisher et al. (67) concluded that pectin has a hypocholesterolemic effect only when fed with dietary cholesterol. On cholesterol-free diets, plasma cholesterol is not affected by dietary pectin. Subjects fed pectin with a cholesterol-containing diet had plasma cholesterol levels that were lower relative to those of subjects on the cholesterol control diet, but not relative to those of subjects on a cholesterol-free control diet.

Sound too good to be true More than twelve hundred research studies, conducted at top medical centers around the world and published in the most prestigious medical journals, document both the safety and efficacy of phytosterols in cholesterol control. They are completely safe not only because they are naturally found in plants but also because they never enter the bloodstream. After blocking the receptor micelles for probably one to two hours, they are rejected, owing to the slight difference in molecular structure, and are eliminated by the body. Even children and pregnant women can take them without fear.

Niacin is a vitamin, B3, but when taken in doses larger than needed for nutrition, it is the best agent in the world for cholesterol control. Not even prescription drugs come close. That s because niacin affects the entire spectrum in the lipid panel. 

Niacin can be used either alone, which, for most men and women seeking cholesterol control, is enough, or in combination with the statin drugs. In fact, research at the University of Washington and elsewhere proves that the combination represents the state-of-the-art approach to aggressive cholesterol control, completely stopping...

Oxidized derivatives of cholesterol, rather than free cholesterol, control cholesterol biosynthesis by inhibiting 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMG-CoA reductase EC 1.1.1.34) [A.A.Kandutsch et al. Science 201 (1978) 498-501). lYolonged high in-... 

Both chitosan and COS are covered by the same regulatory status and are approved for use as a dietary supplement in most of the countries. However, only in certain countries it is allowed to be used as a food additive. In the United States presently, neither chitosan nor COS have generally regarded as safe (GRAS) status. On the other hand, in Korea and Japan it is accepted as a certified functional food ingredient for cholesterol control [190]. Chitosan has been sold as a weight-loss dietary supplement for over 20 years in Europe, Japan, and Korea, but has entered the U S. market only 10 years ago [190]. Recently, a trend of substitution of chitosan market with COS has been observed, mainly in the chitosan mature markets, such as Japan and Korea. The main producers of chitosan and COS are Japan and Korea followed by China and the United States. Smaller operations can be foimd in India,... 

FUNCTIONS. The specific biochemical functions of vitamin C are not clearly understood. Nevertheless, it is established as a very important substance for body welfare because of being implicated in the following roles (1) formation and maintenance of collagen, which makes for more rapid and sound healing of wounds and burns (2) metabolism of the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan (3) absorption and movement of iron (4) metabolism of fats and lipids, and cholesterol control (5) as an antioxidant in the protection of vitamins A and E and the polyunsaturated fatty acids (6) sound teeth and bones (7) strong capillary walls and healthy blood vessels (8) metabolism of folic acid and perhaps in a number of other roles. Details follow ...

Cholesterol control The cholesterol-lowering effects of probiotics have been the subject of two recent reviews with contradictory results. The first, which focused on short-term intervention studies with one yogurt type, reported a 4% decrease in total cholesterol and a 5% decrease in LDL. Contrary to this, the second review concluded that no proven effects could be found. In this context, it is clear that long-term studies are required before the establishment of any conclusion.
