TLDR
This is the first study to demonstrate that cholesterol-lowering effects of plant sterol esters may differ according to the food matrix, and despite phytosterol-enriched cereal products resulting in lower serum cholesterol reductions compared to sterol- enriched milk, it is demonstrated that such products still delivered and releasedphytosterols to the gut.

Continuous Dose-Response Relationship of the LDL-Cholesterol–Lowering Effect of Phytosterol Intake

TL;DR: The dose-dependent LDL-C-lowering efficacy ofphytosterols incorporated in various food formats was confirmed and equations of the continuous relationship were established to predict the effect of a given phytosterol dose.

Continuous Dose-Response Relationship of the LDL-Cholesterol-Lowering Effect of

TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials in adults was performed to establish a continuous dose-response relationship that would allow predicting the LDL-C-lowering efficacy of different phytosterol doses.

Plant sterols/stanols as cholesterol lowering agents: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

TL;DR: Plant sterol containing products reduced LDL concentrations but the reduction was related to individuals’ baseline LDL levels, food carrier, and frequency and time of intake, and the observed differences between trial results were unlikely to have been caused by chance.

Phytosterols and their derivatives: Structural diversity, distribution, metabolism, analysis, and health-promoting uses.

TL;DR: Phytosterol-enriched functional foods first appeared about twenty years ago and many clinical studies have confirmed the low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol-lowering properties of various types of phytosterols, which have provided insights to better understand the cholesterol- Lowering and other biological effects of plant sterols.

Nutraceuticals and Atherosclerosis: Human Trials

TL;DR: A growing body of clinical evidence has demonstrated positive cardiovascular effects associated with dietary fibers, cholesterol-lowering natural agents, olive oil, omega-3 PUFAs, antioxidants, and polyphenols intake, and a need for a better understanding and more scientific evidence of the relative contribution of major nutraceutical constituents to the inhibition of the progression of atherosclerosis and its clinical consequences.

Reduction of serum cholesterol with sitostanol-ester margarine in a mildly hypercholesterolemic population

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tested the tolerability and cholesterol-lowering effect of margarine containing sitostanol ester in a population with mild hypercholesterolemia.

The Anti Cancer Council of Victoria FFQ: relative validity of nutrient intakes compared with weighed food records in young to middle-aged women in a study of iron supplementation.

TL;DR: To assess the validity of the Anti Cancer Council of Victoria food frequency questionnaire (ACCVFFQ) relative to seven‐day weighed food records (WFRs) in 63 women of child‐bearing age.

Plant sterol-enriched margarines and reduction of plasma total- and LDL-cholesterol concentrations in normocholesterolaemic and mildly hypercholesterolaemic subjects

TL;DR: A margarine with sterol-esters from soybean oil, mainly esters from sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol, is as effective as a margarines enriched with sitostanol-ester in lowering blood total- and LDL-cholesterol levels without affecting HDL-ch cholesterol concentrations.

Dietary phytosterols: A review of metabolism, benefits and side effects

TL;DR: Further characterization of the influence of various phytosterol subcomponents on lipoprotein profiles in humans is required to maximize the usefulness of this non-pharmacological approach to reduction of atherosclerosis in the population.

Spreads enriched with three different levels of vegetable oil sterols and the degree of cholesterol lowering in normocholesterolaemic and mildly hypercholesterolaemic subjects

TL;DR: This study would support that consumption of about 1.6 g of plant sterols per day will benefically affect plasma cholesterol concentrations without seriously affecting plasma carotenoid concentrations.
