what effect would the change in the LDL cholestrol as a result of eating the sterol-enriched spreads be expected to have on the chances of developing coronary heart disease
suggest three vitamins whose absorption might be affected by plant sterols.
What is meant by a double bind,placebo-controlled study.

LDL would decrease since plant sterols decrease intestinal cholesterol absorption. So that would be good for your heart and bloodvessels.
Vitamin A, D E and K are fat soluble, so their absorption may be affected by plant sterols, although I don't see how since plant sterols do not affect chylomicron formation.
Neither test subject nor study personnel know if they got/gave drug or placebo. A placebo is a non-functional substance used as a control for the drug.
