when eaten regularly "as part of a diet low in saturated fat, trans fat and cholesterol," help raise the quality of the diet overall and decreases the "risk of cardiovascular
disease" (Whole grains and fiber, 2010). Soluble fiber reduces LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, by a "modest" amount; the reduction is greater than what can be achieved by diet alone (Whole
