Cardiovascular Disease and Fiber: Is Insulin Resistance the Missing Link?

Multiple mechanisms are likely for any effect of fiber on cardiovascular disease risk. One component that is described is the hypocholesterolemic activity of soluble fibers as they bind bile acids. New epidemiologic evidence indicates that fiber's modulation of insulin secretion and resistance...

More Information
Summary:Multiple mechanisms are likely for any effect of fiber on cardiovascular disease risk. One component that is described is the hypocholesterolemic activity of soluble fibers as they bind bile acids. New epidemiologic evidence indicates that fiber's modulation of insulin secretion and resistance deserves additional attention.
