Cholesterol-lowering effects of psyllium-enriched cereal as an adjunct to a prudent diet in the treatment of mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia

Psyllium hydrophilic mucilloid, rich in soluble fiber, significantly lowers serum cholesterol concentrations. To investigate the lipid- lowering effects of a ready-to-eat cereal enriched with psyllium, we studied 44 hypercholesterolemic ambulatory individuals for 7 wk, using a randomized, double-blind, parallel design. After a 1-wk baseline period, subjects were randomly assigned to consume 114 g/d of a psyllium-flake or wheat-bran-flake cerearl for 6 wk adjunctive to an American Heart Association Step I diet. Serum high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides remained unchanged throughout the study; however, serum cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) concentrations were significantly lower on psyllium than on wheat-bran cereal. Additionally, serum total and LDL cholesterol values were significantly lower than baseline values in the psyllium group. The dietary nutrient intake of the two groups did not differ except for soluble fiber. Adding psyllium-enriched cereal to a prudent low-fat diet may enhance dietary management of hypercholesterolemia.
