topicFiber Cholesterol Randomized Trial
claimSB intake significantly reduced fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-c), non-high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (non-HDL-c), systolic blood pressure, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, while increasing dietary fiber intake.

topicFiber Cholesterol Randomized Trial
claimFiber intake was negatively correlated with TC, LDL-c and non-HDL-c ( p p < 0.05-0.0001), while being negatively associated with lipid profiles and blood pressure.
