Abstract

A diet high in soluble fiber and low in fat and cholesterol can help reduce levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the blood. Forty-three healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to two diet protocols. Both regimens were based on low-fat, low-cholesterol diets but one included high soluble fiber intake and the other included high insoluble fiber intake. All participants spent four months on each regimen with a two-month break on a low cholesterol diet. By the fourth week of both regimens, blood lipid levels reached their lowest points. LDL and HDL levels fell by approximately 4.9% for those on the soluble fiber diet and by approximately 3.4% on the insoluble fiber diet. Male patients had greater reductions in total and LDL cholesterol levels on the soluble fiber diets.

Abstract

To determine whether psyllium must be mixed with food to lower serum cholesterol, 18 modestly hypercholesterolemic subjects were studied for three 2-wk periods, in random order, separated by a 2-wk return to a National Cholesterol Education Program Step 2 diet. Compared with values for subjects consuming control wheat-bran cereal (63 g/d), after 2 wk of 54 g psyllium-enriched cereal/d containing 7.3 g psyllim, serum total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol, respectively, were reduced by 8% (6.15 [+ or -] 0.15 vs 6.71 [+ or -] 0.19 mmol/L, P < 0.01), 11% (4.24 [+ or -] 0.15 vs 4.78 [+ or -] 0.19 mmol/L,P < 0.02), and 7% (0.99 [+ or -] 0.05 vs 1.07 [+ or -] 0.05 mmol/L,P < 0.01). When 7.6 g of the same type of psyllium as in the test cereal was taken between meals, serum total (6.50 [+ or -] 0.19 mmol/L), LDL (4.50 [+ or -] 0.21 mmol/L), and HDL (1.06 [+ or -] 0.06 mmol/L) cholesterol were no different from control values, and total cholesterol was greater than after psyllium cereal (P < 0.05). We conclude that psyllium must be mixed with foods to have the maximum effect on serum cholesterol.
