Can oatmeal lowers my ldl level?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Big picture: Especially at your age, the real question is, "will i be an adult with a health-focused lifestyle, or not?" if your LDL cholesterol is concerningly high, it'll take more than oatmeal to fix it; it'll be lifestyle and maybe if that fails, medication, and oatmeal won't be the key. If not, why not make your oatmeal decision based on whether you like it or not?

Possibly: Diets with a lot of oatmeal have been reported to help lower cholesterol. They go hand in hand with weight loss where every pound might drop cholesterol by 2 points. Ldl will be most significantly affected.
