Question 1

can you tell me are benecol yoghurts good for you?

Accepted Answer

Yoghurt: That kind of yoghurt is probably ok for you. 'good' for you is relative but there probably is no signficant down side to it.

Question 2

help can benecol work for high cholestrol?

Accepted Answer

No: Here are the ingredients: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Plant Stanol Esters, Nonfat Milk, Less than 2% of:, Soy Lecithin, Salt, Natural &amp; Artificial Flavors, Yellow 6 Aluminum Lake (CI 15985). There is NOTHING there that would lower cholesterol. Sugar and corn syrup would RAISE it. This is unregulated - the FDA would never approve it. IMO, this marketing should be illegal.

Question 3

can docs please explain are benecol yoghurts be good for you?

Accepted Answer

No: No better than any other yogurt.  Benecol is a sham.

Question 4

which butter is healthiest for you: i can't believe its not butter, benecol or smart balance?

Accepted Answer

None? All?: I don't think any of those are actually butter. You're probably over thinking this - everything in moderation. I use regular, straight up butter.

Question 5

can you take benecol drinks with warfarin? i can't find any information?

Accepted Answer

Benecol and warfarin: Benecol and warfarin should not have any significant interactions. However, you are on high risk medications in terms of drug-drug interactions with warfarin (esp flecainide). Always discuss with your healthcare provider when you start any new non-prescription ingredients (incl herbal teas, vitamins, etc) and any changes with your prescription medications.

Question 6

is it possible for drinking benecol and using their spreads to really help reduce cholesterol?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: Once you get past the legalese, it seems unlikely to me that Benecol would have any meaningful effect on cholesterol. See: http://www.foodnavigator-usa.com/Regulation/Judge-No-reasonable-consumer-would-be-misled-by-Benecol-s-claims

Question 7

can benecol give you indigestion?

Accepted Answer

Benecol: Can give some people indigestion.

Question 8

does monistad 3 works?

Accepted Answer

It works!: If you have a vaginal yeast infection it should work.

Question 9

does naturafree really works?

Accepted Answer

No, of course not: Their webpage claims their herbal product treats multiple types of std's and clears viruses, parasites, and bacteria. Of course, there is no such magical item, so hold on to your money. This is likely an offshore sales pitch, as it is illegal to make false medical claims in the U.S.

Question 10

how marjuana works in our body?

Accepted Answer

It's a toxin: In the brain, marijuana causes distorted perceptions, impaired coordination, difficulty with thinking and problem solving, and disrupted learning and memory.  Iq points may be lost and not recovered. In some it induces psychosis and paranoia; lowers motivation also. Further, it raises heart rate and increases risk of heart attack. When smoked, it's a lung irritant.  http://tinyurl.com/7fxu9px.
