Does the soluble fiber in COLON CLEANSE® lower cholesterol?
Soluble fiber from foods such as psyllium husk as a part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. Cholesterol attaches itself to fiber and is carried out of the body with solid waste matter. A serving of Colon Cleanse supplies 7 grams of the soluble fiber necessary per day to have this effect. Coronary heart disease has been linked to elevated blood cholesterol levels. Recent scientific research has revealed the important role psyllium plays in the diet to reduce “Bad” cholesterol or LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins), while having no significant effect on the HDL (High-Density Lipoproteins) or good cholesterol. Studies from three independent universities: University of Kentucky, George Washington University and the University of Massachusetts, presented some dramatic results. Low fat diet that included psyllium had a greater cholesterol lowering effect than low fat diets without psyllium.
