Dr. Andrew Weil suggests that soluble fiber in foods helps lower cholesterol levels by binding cholesterol in the intestinal tract and increasing its elimination from the body. He suggests beans, peas, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits and strawberries. My question is this, do soluble fiber supplements like Benefiber and Citrucel work on cholesterol levels in the body in the same way that soluble fiber from food does? Any further info on this would be much appreciated. artist
