A. Yes. BENECOL Spreads can be used in conjunction with a low-fat diet to provide additional cholesterol lowering benefit versus diet alone (as shown in an article published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition). Since BENECOL blocks absorption of dietary and biliary cholesterol in the digestive tract, patients may receive additional cholesterol reduction by following a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol in addition to using BENECOL Spreads.
