Jonathan has been advised to eat more fiber. How will this lower his "bad" cholesterol levels?

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


Fiber, in particular the soluble type, has been shown to lower low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, also known as "bad" cholesterol. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and forms a gel-like substance that encloses food particles. This property helps bind and excrete fats from the body. Soluble fibers also bind intestinal bile acids that could be recycled into additional cholesterol. Soluble fibers are found primarily in oats, fruits, barley, legumes, and psyllium.
