Cholesterol Takes A Shot

Are you one of the nearly 76 million Americans living with high or elevated LDL, or "bad" cholesterol?

Now you can drink your way to better levels with Promise activ SuperShots, the first minidrink with cholesterol-lowering natural plant sterols. The National Cholesterol Education Program and the Food and Drug Administration endorse natural plant sterols as a dietary method for cholesterol reduction.

Unilever's new fruit-and-yogurt drink contains 2 grams of plant sterols per serving. It would take about 100 pounds of fruits, vegetables and nuts to get the equivalent in natural plant sterols.

You'll also be drinking omega-3, omega-6 and vitamin E. Try it in strawberry, peach and raspberry. Each SuperShot has 70 calories, with 30 calories from fat.

Promise activ SuperShots are available in grocery stores for a suggested retail price of $3.99 for a four-pack.
