How much do diets containing soluble fiber from psyllium husk lower cholesterol if taken as directed?
In clinical studies submitted to the FDA, the cholesterol-lowering benefit of soluble fiber from psyllium, when taken as directed and combined with a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet, was 4 to 6 percent for blood total cholesterol and about 4 to 8 percent for LDL (bad) cholesterol versus a low-fat diet alone. No change is expected in HDL (good) cholesterol based on available data.
