Sagg,
It certainly won't harm you but you've got to take more than the 2 they recommend (like 6 a day)and it really is for modest LDL lowering only (and works better if you restrict your dietary cholesterol):
Quote:
studies suggest that the consumption of about 2-3g/ day of plant sterols/ stanols reduce LDL cholesterol levels by between 9%-20% although there is considerable variation amongst individuals:
no or little effect on high density lipoprotein cholesterol or triglyceride levels has been reported

Sterols/stanols work by preventing dietary cholesterol from being absorbed in the intestines and that's usually only a minor component of the cholesterol picture.
