JANUARY 9, 2002

FOR ME, IT STARTED WITH THE ENTERY OF CHOLESTEROL IN HEALTH FOOD STORES ON THE INTERNET. WHAT RESULTED WAS WAS: STANOLS, PHYTOSTANOLS, SITOSTANOL, CAMPESTANOL, STIGMASTANOL, 5-ALPH-STANOLS, AND STANOL ESTERS.

HECK, I THOUGHT THE PRECEDING WERE NAME OF PRODUCTS. THEN I ENTERED THE NAME OF ONE OF THE ABOVE, I FORGET WHICH, AND BENECOL CAME UP, WHICH IN-TURN,LED ME TO SOME ORGANIZATION THAT IS KNOW THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AS "BENECOL." THEY EVEN HAD RECEIPTS OF HOW TO PREPARE MEALS WITH THE USE OF BENECOL. HOWEVER, I FOUND IT STRANGE (EVEN BEFORE READING YOUR LETTER) THAT THE RECEIPTS/MEALS HAD A HIGH CONTENT OF FATS, CHOLESTEROL, CARBOHYDRATES, SODIUM WHICH CUMINATED IN A HIGH CALORIE COUNT MEAL. ALTHOUGH, I COPIED THE RECEIPTS, I STILL WENT LOOKING FOR MORE INFORMATION AND I FOUND YOUR REPORT. WOW. IT MAKES SENSE THAT CUTTING DOWN ON THE INTAKE OF FAT DOES THE TRICK. DON'T THOSE PEOPLE AT BENECOL REALIZE THAT WHILE TRYING TO LOWER THE BAD CHOLESTEROL, BY USING BENECOL IN THEIR RECEIPTS INCREASES THE INATKE OF FAT? THANKS AGAIN.
