Hi, I am trying to get my LDL down by diet intially and I wondered about trying Benecol Dairy free option. Per bottle the CHO are 1.9 of which 1.5 are sugars so this should be okay. I am conscious though that a lot of these things have trans fats in them. Have anyone tried these/do they do any good? If so how long does it take? Does anyone know whether the dairy free option contains any trans fats?

Thank you
Helen
 
i tried flora pro active and my readings gradually started to go up until after 4 weeks one day was 16 i stopped taking it and it went back to normal.let me know if you get the same affect with benecol please as my colestral went up a little.
 
Why the dairy free option? I think I trust real milk more than chem lab plant milk.
 
I used the Flora Proactive and Benecol and have now discovered a much cheaper version from Aldis with slightly less plant strerols (1.6g) - £1.38 for 4.(Optifit)
Some confusing data for carbs though - It states 5.4g per bottle of which 6.8g is sugar!!!

Also I am thinking of ditching these drinks as my results to date are all positive EXCEPT for my cholesterol!!.

HBA1C 10.3 to 5.8
Trigs 7.7 to 1
Weight 17st 5 to 14 stone 3
Cholesterol 4.4 to 4.8!! :shock:

(Since April when I was dx'd)
