Benecol

Hi, I'm Tina and I'm a BzzAgent.
At the moment I am doing a campaign with Benecol Foods.
In case yo don't want to take a look at their website, benecol.co.uk I'll give yo a brief overview of why they think Benecol is good for you.
All their foods are made from plant stanols and promote good cholesterol. Benecol say that their foods which consist of yoghurt drinks (which are gorgeous) also yoghurt pots, which to be perfectly honest with you could taste better. Margarine which personally I find very tasty, also an olive spread which when used in cooking (very tasty) helps to reduce bad cholesterol. And lastly a cheese spread which I cannot comment on because I've never tasted it. Maybe you could tell me what that tastes like?

Unfortunately I do have one complaint with Benecol Foods, I find them quite expensive. What do you think?

For my personal assessment : Daily yoghurt drink I'd give them 10/10
                                              Yoghurt 3/10
                                              Olive Spread 7/10
                                              Light spread (margarine) 8/10

The packaging states that Benecol helps to prevent heart disease by lowering your cholesterol. Personally having suffered strokes myself, I would suggest that lowering your cholesterol is also good in the fight against strokes too. High cholesterol can be a major factor in strokes.

That's all from me, tell me what you think?
