Abstract

Dietary fiber may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) through a variety of mechanisms, such as improving blood lipid profiles,¹^-3 lowering blood pressure,⁴^,5 and improving insulin sensitivity⁶^,7 and fibrinolytic activity.⁸ Dietary fiber has been found to be inversely associated with risk factors for CHD in observational studies.⁹^-12
