Oat Beta Glycan: These are water soluble oat fiber at 22 and 35% respectively. They work by trapping bile acids in the intestine forcing the syntheses of new bile acid from cholesterol by the liver. Studies have shown that 5-10 g of daily fiber lowers cholesterol and is associated with lower blood glucose readings. This can be found in a bowl of oatmeal or cheerios be cautious about dietary supplements.
