[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.

• Lower cholesterol: Soy has been associated with a significant reduction of total cholesterol levels in the blood, including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL, also known as the “bad cholesterol”) and triglycerides. Studies show that when soy proteins replace foods high in saturated fat, trans-saturated fats, and cholesterol, there is a correlation with lower total cholesterol levels.
• Reduce the risk of heart disease: Soy’s fiber, polyunsaturated fats, and plant proteins have been shown to lower heart disease risk. The isoflavones found in soy can improve your heart health by keeping your arteries and blood vessels clean and clear — they may increase nitric oxide secretion by endothelial cells, (the cells that line blood vessels) causing smooth muscle cells in the vessel wall to relax. This allows for blood to flow more easily, thereby decreasing heart attack risk or clotting. Recent research has also shown that soy may have an impact on a biomarker called e-selectin, which is capable of increasing the risk of heart disease. E-selectin is a protein that can be found in endothelial cells of individuals with heart disease. This protein makes the cells sticky and attractive to inflammatory cells that can damage the vessel. Isoflavones seem to play a role in reducing the amount of e-selectin, thereby decreasing inflammation and maintaining the smooth lining of the vessel walls.
• Regulate leptin (the “satiety hormone”): In adults with metabolic diseases such as obesity, insulin resistance, or type II diabetes mellitus, soy protein may play a role in reducing elevated leptin levels (another biomarker that can influence heart disease risk). Usually, leptin rises after a meal and signals to the brain that you are full or satiated. However, in insulin-resistant or obese adults, leptin levels are chronically elevated and lose effectiveness on the brain. High leptin levels don’t prevent hunger, and instead begin to affect other aspects of health, such as immune function, and cardiovascular health, including high blood pressure. In adults with metabolic disorders, eating soy may help lower leptin levels to a healthier range.
