Cholesterol Lowered by Whole Grains, Especially Oats!

“Whole-grain and blood lipid changes in apparently healthy adults:
a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies.”
Hollænder PL1, Ross AB2, Kristensen M3.  Am J Clin Nutr. 2015 Sep;102(3):556-72. (click on reference for Pub Med abstract)

CONCLUSIONS: Consumption of whole-grain diets lowers LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol, but not HDL cholesterol or triglycerides, compared with consumption of non-whole-grains. Whole-grain oat appears to be the most effective whole grain for lowering cholesterol.
