OUR HEALTH: Barley for the heart "In terms of public health this is huge," he said.
Keenan said soluble fiber works by trapping cholesterol both from meals and from bile as it passes through the digestive tract. The cholesterol and soluble fiber ferment in the large intestine, where some breakdown products from the fiber also suppress production of more cholesterol in the liver, he said. Soluble fiber also slows absorption of energy from foods, slowing the rise of blood sugar, he said. Bonnie Liebman, director of nutrition at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, said Barliv might lower cholesterol enough for some people. But she said people with high cholesterol shouldn't assume it's as effective as a statin drug. "You're not going to get that bang for your buck, but it's worth a try," Liebman said. "Then go back and get your cholesterol checked." ___ On the Net: Cargill Inc.: http://www.cargill.com Cargill's Barliv site: http://www.barliv.com Bolthouse Farms: http://www.bolthouse.com Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.
