Candy giant Mars has expanded its functional food line with a new plant sterol-enriched chocolate bar for lowering cholesterol. The company said yesterday that it had developed a bar containing a patented blend of soy-derived sterols and cocoa flavonols, as well as added calcium and B vitamins thought to boost heart health. Mars has marketed a granola snack bar rich in cocoa flavonols over the Internet for the last two years.
"You may have tangible wealth untold, Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold. Richer than I you could never be; I know someone who told stories to me." ~ Cynthia Pearl Maus
"If one sees the personality Not as an apparatus that is essentially constructed By the time childhood is over, But as always in its essence developing, Then life at 25 or 30 or at the gateway to middle age Will stimulate its own intrigue, Surprise, and exhilaration of discovery." ~ Robert Coles
