Sterol and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Sterols are a subgroup of steroids and an important class of organic molecules. They occur naturally in plants, animals, and fungi, with cholesterol being the most familiar animal sterol. Plant sterols, also known as phytosterols, are found in small quantities in many fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, cereals, legumes, and vegetable oils. These compounds are often added to food products for their ability to block cholesterol absorption in the human intestine, thereby helping to lower cholesterol levels in the body.
