Buttery Spread
Take Control and Benecol and new cholesterol lowering spreads which have
gotten a lot of press lately. I think they are available in most
supermarkets in the margarin section. Olio was developed by Chrysler
chairman Lee Iacocca and it is mostly olive oil. I used that way before
the other two earned all the brouhaha and my body likes it. Amazingly, with
all Iacocca’s money, he hasn’t gotten any researchers to study his spread
and show that it lowers cholesterol. I’ve had a harder time finding that in
stores lately. The last time I had a hard time it was because the product’s
packaging was changed. It was first sold in bars like sticks of butter in a
plastic tub. Then it changed to a cup like the soft margarine or whipped
butter. Anyway, if I locate it in a new package, I’ll let the list know.
Take Control and Benecol mention an amount per day beyond which the
cholesterol lowering ability doesn’t work. I just bought Take Control
yesterday since I couldn’t find Olio. Haven’t tried it yet.
