What is Cholesterol? You already know that some cholesterol is good and some is bad. But did you know that there are clear guidelines for cholesterol levels for average Americans and newly established guidelines for high-risk patients? Cholesterol is:
How to Control Your Cholesterol Many Americans have succeeded in lowering their LDL 'bad' cholesterol through lifestyle changes. Eating right, exercising, and relaxing are some of the basic lifestyle changes you can make to improve your overall health. Your doctor can test your cholesterol level, or you can test yourself with a kit you can purchase at your pharmacy. The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) identifies LDL cholesterol as the primary target of cholesterol management. Clinical research has shown that elevated LDL, the 'bad' cholesterol, is the primary cause of coronary heart disease. New Guidelines for High Risk Heart Patients Can Save Lives Every year 1.2 million Americans have a new or repeat heart attack. A new set of guidelines has been released that specifically targets these high risk Americans. The new NCEP guideline determines that high-risk heart patients should lower their LDL 'bad' cholesterol to a rock bottom 70. The previous NCEP guideline was 100.

 Rating:  - HopefulI found the Benecol Smart Chews to be tasty and easy to take. I won't know the good that they did until I go for blood work on Dec. 15. I'll let you know how I did. Kathie Wilkes Rating: - a winnerI have seen a drop in my total cholesterol and LDL-not dramatic, but enough that I don't need to go on cholesterol-lowering medication . Rating: - Something is working!I have been using Benecol chews for several months now. I am one of those who absolutely cannot take statins to lower my cholesterol. The statins will lower my cholesterol...but they cause a lot of other problems. I do not know if the Benecol alone would lower my cholesterol because I am on Niaspan also, but my total cholesterol is down, my HDL is up, my LDL is down as well as my triglycerides. The number and size of my LDL particles has also decreased greatly. Research has now determined the more particles you have, the more likely they are to stick together and therefore cause blockages. Give Benecol a try. I will continue to use them. I also use Benecol spread that can be found at most grocery stores. Good luck! Rating:  - Great taste and simple to useI just received my first order of the Benecol smart chews and they tast great. A nice smooth caramel texture that melts in your mouth. OK, so compared to most of the other posts, my cholesterol levels are not too high but my doctor says it's high. One of my biggest problems is keeping my HDL (good) greater than 40. So when I read the Benecol website and it said this would help lower my LDL (Bad) and not my HDL I thought why not try them out. I already eat well balanced meals and walk 5 times a week for 30 minutes. In addition, prior to my most recent blood test I was able to loose 15lbs. Now at 5'2" I weight my ideal weight of 110lbs. Yet my cholesterol levels have not gone down. My last test was on 10/28/08 TOTAL CHOLESTEROL = 214 goal less than 200 HDL CHOLESTEROL = 40 goal greater than 40 LDL CHOLESTEROL = 145 goal less than 130 TRIGLYCERIDES = 146 goal less than 150 My next test will not be until April so I plan on adding all bran to my breakfast and taking 3 Benecol chews a day. I will update you with my results in April 2009. If they do manage to reduce my numbers I will be more than willing to give this product 5 stars. Rating: - BENECOL CHEWS REVIEWThe product was deliveried on time. I have not had a Cholestrol test to see if the product did in fact perform as advertised but I will be doing that within the next 2 months. The product is very good and easy to take.
