Abstract in brief
- Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, and high blood cholesterol is a major modifiable risk factor.
- Plant sterols, found in certain functional foods, can lower blood cholesterol levels by about 10-15%, and are recommended as an addition to lifestyle changes in some guidelines, but their long-term benefits on heart health are still debated.
- There is controversy over whether plant sterols might be harmful, as some studies suggest they could promote atherosclerosis, highlighting the need for more research on their actual impact on cardiovascular outcomes.]
