A total of 138 individuals, 44 with Type 2 diabetes and 94 at risk of developing the disease, were given low-fat spreads either with or without plant sterols, at a dose of 2 mg a day for six weeks. The participants consuming the plant sterols showed significantly lowered total cholesterol levels, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides by the end of the study.
