Fig. 4. Comparison of the total and LDL cholesterol lowering ability of the 4 main dietary soluble fibers (psyllium, oats, guar gum, and pectin) versus KJM. Values for the 4 fibers are taken from the meta-analysis of Brown et al. [35] and values for KJM represent the mean reduction in cholesterol taken from the two studies by Vuksan et al. [29,30]. Data are presented as change in cholesterol (mmol/L) per gram of soluble fiber.
