"In comparison with plant sterols or exercise alone, the combination of
plant sterols and exercise yielded the most beneficial change in the
volunteer's cholesterol and lipid levels," said lead author and
McGill doctoral student, Krista Varady. "This combination therapy
favourably altered their lipid profiles by decreasing total
cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and
triacylglycerol levels and by increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL)
cholesterol levels."

Thanks for the study link; perhaps we will get more details soon? I was
getting mixed signals about Take-Control margarine in my exercise
program and diet program, so I did a quick 42-mile bike ride after
reading the article just before dark (lowers my AM BP).
Here is an interesting article (commercial site) that mentioned a note
from Dr. Mecola, who's web site I enjoy and has many diet and heart
related study references.
