[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.

Diet & cavities – what is known & suggested.

An Experiment at a Mental Hospital in Sweden.

1. Patients at this hospital had been given a healthy balanced diet consisting of 3 meals a day.

2. Overall the patients had a very low caries rate — not many cavities.

3. Some patients were given a sticky, chewy candy with lots of sugar every 15 minutes.

4. The patients who were given the candy developed many cavities within a few months.

5. Patients at the hospital who consumed sugar frequently. Patients got lots of cavities after starting a diet of frequent carbohydrate intake and their teeth probably looked something like
this picture on the right.

6. Many of the patients teeth had to be removed.Other studies have shown that people who lived near the sea and ate fish had much less cavities then people who lived inland and ate figs.

Fish is low in carbohydrates but figs have a lot of sugar. Frequent consumption of drinks sweetened with sugar throughout the day will increase risk of dental decay.

Juice, even diluted with water. Hint: Can mix juice and powdered drinks with xylitol powder (like powdered sugar) and it will be good for the teeth.

Soda, has both lots of sugar and acid. Hint: Can use a soda stream or similar device and use xylitol for the sweetener. Adding carbonation to any liquid will result in increase acid.

Sports drinks have salts & sugar. Hint: Drinks that have just salts and ions will not harm the teeth. If the drink has an artificial or xylitol sweetener it is just fine for the teeth.

It is better to have your candy all at one time, then to nibble on it all day long.

Foods in the following categories have helpful proteins & arginine that reduce acid in the mouth and are low in carbs.

Dairy: Milk, Cheese, Cottage Cheese, Eggs, Yogurt & Soy

Seeds & Nuts: Sunflower Seeds & cashews

Seafood: Fish Sticks & Tuna Sandwich

Think a healthy snack !

Milk: It does a tooth good.

Cheese: Happy cows say cheese in California.

Sunflower Seeds: Grown in our own central valley.

Xylitol: It is a natural substance found in plants & Trees that has about the same sweetness as sugar.

Caries promoting bacteria cannot convert it to acid — therefor it cannot lead to tooth decay. It makes an excellent substitute for sugar in candy and gum.

Xylitol has been found to increase saliva, decrease acid and caries promoting bacteria when used regularly 3-5 times a day after meals. It is available in multiple forms: Examples

Lollipops – Available at www.drjohns.com

Gum – Can get at most stores

Powder – Available at www.xylitolusa.com

Other Foods that may be helpful Are:

Licorice Root (glycyrrhizin) – Available at www.gaiaherbs.com. May reduce caries promoting bacteria.

Green Tea (epigallocatichin) – Available at stores. May reduce the activity of caries promoting bacteria.

Cranberry Juice (polyphenols) – Available at stores. Likely interferes with plaque formation on the teeth.
