Plant sterols are essentially the plant version of our own cholesterol, and are commonly added to various products because there is evidence that they may be able to lower our cholesterol levels, thus protecting the cardiovascular system.

However, plant sterols are not all that great, and there is evidence which suggests that they can cross the blood/ brain barrier, and inhibit nerve function. There is certainly more research needed this subject.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.
