Abstract
Used as a substitute for normal dietary intake of saturated fatty acids, margarines containing plant sterols can cause a modest reduction in serum total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. They have been shown effective in patients with mild hypercholesterolemia, but they are also useful in the general population.
