Summary: 5 Stars
I took 4 chews of benecol every day and 5mg Lipitor every other day and reduced my cholesterol from 220 to 140.Product Review: Benecol review
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't give much of a review until I have my cholesterol drawn which won't be until this summer......I received them in a timely manner and they taste great....after my cholesterol is drawn, I'll be able to tell you just how good they are.....Product Review: Benecol tastes good
Summary: 3 Stars
The product is tasty, which is good since I have cut out sweets. Have not had a blood test to confirm that the product actually does have any effect on my cholesterol count. My problem now is that I am trying to reorder and nobody at Amazon can provide any idea of when the product will be in stock. Almost out. Will have to order from some site other than Amazon.Product Review: Benocol chews have been reformulated and they are disgusting!
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm sure I won't be the only one that stops using this product after they changed the shape and more importantly the flavor of the chews. I just received my most recent shipment of the chews on November 4th, 2010 and I noticed the size of the individually wrapped chews was now rectangular. My first thought was no worries, it's all good new shape, same great product. But once popped that Carmel colored rectangle into my mouth I quickly realized that Benecol had changed the flavor of the chew from caramel, to something that tasted like a combination of butter, sugar and caramel flavoring and in a word, YUCK!
The old chews tasted exactly like a piece of caramel, they were actually pretty tasty and even though it helped lower my cholesterol, I actually enjoyed them as a treat. Now I'll have to find something else because I just can't bring myself to eat something that tastes as bad as these things.
It will be interesting to see how long it takes for Benecol to change the formula again, because I'm willing to bet that the popularity of the product plummets now that it no longer tastes good. Brain dead move Benecol, no doubt someone loses their job over this blunder!
Product Review: Bottom line - it worked for me

You: On A Diet: The Owner's Manual for Waist Management
If you are looking to stay healthy and reduce cholestrol, this product may be just what you need. Best of all, it can be used by those taking cholesterol medications and, if you don't want to use the meds (or can't), this might provide some help. They are tasty and full of plant statins, not medications.
I used them as directed but I don't think they'd work if you aren't also watching your diet and getting a minimum level of exercise - but perhaps they would. I work out 3 times a week (but not too intensely), watch my diet (but I'm not rigid, just common sense) and found these boosted the results I got.
