Are CoroWise™ plant sterols safe?
Yes. Scores of human studies with plant sterols have shown no adverse effects. Some studies have found that large doses of plant sterols reduce the absorption of the pre-vitamin beta-carotene. However, clinical trials have demonstrated that even in the face of rather large daily intakes of plant sterols, serum fat-soluble vitamin levels, including vitamin A, remained well within normal ranges. CoroWise™ plant sterols can be used in a variety of major food and beverage products. With CoroWise™ plant sterols, Cargill is making it easier to maintain a heart-healthy diet.
