Re: Acacia Fiber and lowering cholesterol       03/25/09 07:19 AM Edit Reply Quote Little Minnie Reged: 04/16/04 Posts: 4987 Loc: Minnesota I don't think any big scientific studies are in the works to determine that. Basically only big drug companies can push their products to get such tests. But soluble fiber and soluble fiber supplements, like acacia, have been studied and proven to lower cholesterol. The SF acts as a sponge to remove the bad cholesterol from the bloodstream. That is why oatmeal is so great for cholesterol. Definitely try her on acacia. It is the best quality SFS you can buy. -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
