Author: Michael Hunt, M.D.

Educational Pearls:

  • Oats have been shown to lower LDL.
  • Oat bran is the most effective way to consume oats to lower LDL.
  • A Swedish study of 69,000 people who ate at least 3 servings of potatoes a week showed no increased risk of a MI or stroke associated with potato consumption.
