To the Honourable President and Members of the Senate in Parliament assembled:



Dear Senators,



Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) has approved the sale of Phytosterol enriched foods and allowed the manufacturers to claim that the products lower cholesterol.



Analysis of the scientific research shows, that while &#8220;food&#8221; products and supplements artificially enriched with phytosterols do lower cholesterol, they may&nbsp;in fact actually increase the risk of heart attack and stroke for many consumers and may have other long term adverse health effects, including eye damage, adverse&nbsp;modification of atherogenic plaque (increased inflammation, oxidation, and thrombosis risk), decreased coronary artery flexibility, and may be implicated in heart valve degradation.



On this basis the Petitioners would request that the Australian Senate ask the FSANZ to provide it with;



1. Evidence that phytosterol enriched foods and supplements actually reduce all cause mortality, and or the incidence of heart attack and stroke; and



2. Evidence that long term consumption of the phytosterol products do not increase the risk of adverse health outcomes; and



3. If no such credible evidence is forthcoming take steps to ensure that phytosterol enriched products can only be obtained on prescription and are not freely available for public consumption.



Sincerely



Glenn Sargent



Lead Petitioner.
