Cholesterol lowering cheese
Cholesterol lowering cheese
Fayrefield Foods, the UK's largest independent dairy company, is launching heartfelt+, a fully flavoured 12 per cent fat cheese, in the UK. Heartfelt+ cheese has been specifically developed to help people who want to lower their cholesterol and maintain a healthy diet, while continuing to enjoy the taste of cheese.
Heartfelt+ contains ReducolTM, a well established and clinically proven ingredient for lowering cholesterol safely and naturally. Reducol is a unique ingredient containing plant sterols and stanols, which was developed by the Canadian company, Forbes Medi-Tech Inc. Reducol is incorporated into foods such as milk, spreads and yoghurts, to offer cholesterol lowering benefits to consumers who want to continue to enjoy those products. It is supported by numerous reviewed clinical studies (see www.reducol.com) and is supplied to manufacturers as an odourless, tasteless powder that contains no fat, protein or carbohydrates. The combination of a prudent diet and consumption of products containing the recommended amount of Reducol may help consumers to lower their cholesterol by up to 24 per cent.
