Article Synopsis
- A study tested a new dietary approach called the Portfolio-Mediterranean Diet, which combines cholesterol-lowering foods like oats, barley, and plant sterols, excluding nuts and soy.
- After about 48 days, participants following the Portfolio-Mediterranean Diet experienced a significantly greater reduction in LDL cholesterol levels compared to those on a standard Mediterranean Diet or one with sterol-enriched yogurt.
- The results suggest that this new diet could effectively lower LDL cholesterol by about 25% in the short term for people with high cholesterol.
