Fiber, plant sterols: Foods that may lower LDL: 5-10 grams of soluble fiber/day (which may be found in oats, barley, or beans) bind to cholesterol in the digestive system and eliminate them from blood circulation. Foods that may raise HDL and lower LDL: 2 grams of plant sterols/day (vegetable oil, nuts, fish, seeds). Understand that it may not be possible to meet your cholesterol goals with dietary modifications alone.
