Intervention
What risk factors for CHD may be modified by a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol and high in total and soluble fiber?
-
Conclusion
Limited research indicates that other risk factors for CHD may be modified by a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol and high in total and soluble fiber. These risk factors include BP, lipoprotein subclasses and particle sizes, and fasting and post-prandial insulin.

Grade: III
- Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
- Grade II is Fair;
- Grade III is Limited/Weak;
- Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
- Grade V is Not Assignable.
- High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
- Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
- Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
- Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
- Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
Will consuming high fiber foods as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol reduce total cholesterol and LDL even more than a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol alone?-
Conclusion
Consuming diets high in total fiber (17-30g/day) and soluble fiber (7-13g/day) as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol can further reduced TC by 2-3% and LDL up to 7%.
