A. The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) Guidelines recommend 2 grams of plant stanols (3.4 grams of plant stanol esters) as part of a daily diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol to help reduce the risk of heart disease. This amount can be obtained by enjoying 4 servings of BENECOL Spread. If you recommend more than 2 servings of BENECOL Spread per day, we suggest your patients use BENECOL Light Spread. BENECOL Regular Spread should continue to be used for cooking and baking.
