Reducing Cholesterol Levels

Like soluble fibers, viscous fibers lower serum cholesterol by reducing the absorption of dietary cholesterol. In addition, viscous fibers complex with bile acids, which are compounds manufactured by the liver from cholesterol that are necessary for the proper digestion of fat. After complexing with bile acids, the compounds are removed from circulation and do not make it back to the liver. As a result, the liver must use additional cholesterol to manufacture new bile acids. Bile acids are necessary for normal digestion of fat. Soluble fiber may also reduce the amount of cholesterol manufactured by the liver.
