[What is Phytosterol?]

Phytosterols are compounds found in plants that resemble cholesterol. The National Institutes of Heath report that there are over 200 different phytosterols, and the highest concentrations of phytosterols are found naturally in vegetable oils, beans and nuts. Their benefits are so recognized that foods are being fortified with phytosterols. At the supermarket, you may see orange juice or margarine advertising phytosterol contents. After reviewing the health benefits, you may want to add phytosterol-rich foods to your diet.

[Benefits]

Cholesterol-Lowering Benefits

The most well-known, and scientifically proven, benefit of phytosterols is their ability to help lower cholesterol. A phytosterol is a plant compound that is similar to cholesterol. A study in the 2002 issue of “Annual Review of Nutrition” explains that phytosterols actually compete for absorption with cholesterol in the digestive tract. While they prevent the absorption of regular dietary cholesterol, they themselves are not easily absorbed, which leads to a total lower cholesterol level. The cholesterol-lowering benefit does not end with a good number on your blood work report. Having lower cholesterol leads to other benefits, such as a reduced risk for heart disease, stroke and heart attacks.

Cancer Protection Benefits

Phytosterols have also been found to help protect against the development of cancer. The July 2009 issue of the” European Journal of Clinical Nutrition” offers encouraging news in the fight against cancer. Researchers at the University of Manitoba in Canada report that there is evidence that phytosterols help prevent ovarian, breast, stomach and lung cancer. Phytosterols do this by preventing the production of cancer cells, stopping the growth and spread of cells that are already in existence and actually encouraging the death of cancer cells. Their high anti-oxidant levels are believed to be one way phytosterols help fight cancer. An anti-oxidant is a compound that fights free radical damage, which is negative effects on the body produced by cells that are unhealthy.

Skin Protection Benefits

A lesser known benefit of phytosterols involves skin care. One of the contributing factors in the aging of the skin is the breakdown and loss of collagen — the main component in connective skin tissue — and sun exposure is a major contributor to the problem. As the body ages, it is not able to produce collagen as it once did. The German medical journal “Der Hautarzt” reports a study in which various topical preparations were tested on skin for 10 days. The topical treatment that showed anti-aging benefits to the skin was the one that contained phytosterols and other natural fats. It is reported that phytosterols not only stopped the slow-down of collagen production that can be caused by the sun, it actually encouraged new collagen production.

INGREDIENTS:
1 Tbsp clarified butter, also known as ghee (or regular butter) (For vegan recipe use earth balance butter alternative)
1 small onion, chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp curry powder or paprika
2 tsp cumin
2 Tbsp fresh, finely chopped ginger
2 cans (30 oz.) pumpkin puree or fresh pumpkin
1 quart vegetable stock
1 can coconut cream

GARNISH OPTIONS:
lime
chopped parsley
pumpkin seeds
avocado
sour cream or creme fresh
cooked bacon bits

DIRECTIONS:
On medium heat, sweat out the onion and garlic in the clarified butter, about 2-3 minutes. Then add in all of your seasoning and mix together, coating the onions in the seasoning. Next add in the ginger and pumpkin puree (or fresh chopped pumpkin), and cook for another minute.
NOTE: If you use fresh pumpkin, you’re going to need to sauté the pumpkin longer, until it’s soft enough to poke it with a fork.
Then add in the vegetable stock and coconut cream, and bring it up to a simmer. Let it cook for about ten more minutes, to infuse all of the flavors and it’s ready to serve. Garnish with desired toppings
