Yes, it does help and my GP agreed with that, my cholesterol has gone down and I am no longer battling with GP on her wanting me take statins. However, check sugar levels and make sure you buy the light variety. As I recall the wild berries is one of the lower in sugar levels, the plain or vanilla is higher! It is expensive, Sainsburys currently selling to packs with £1 savings, I usually make do with 6 a week, but figure the cost is worth it if they work. I also use the Flora Buttery, Pro activ margerine but not their drinks - they are too high in sugar!
