Abstract in brief

  • The text explains that while cholesterol-lowering drugs are effective in reducing heart disease risk, diet and lifestyle changes are the first recommended approach, focusing on foods like viscous fibers, plant sterols, soy protein, and nuts.
  • Researchers combined these four cholesterol-lowering foods into a "dietary portfolio" to maximize the reduction in LDL cholesterol, finding that it lowered LDL by about 30%, which is comparable to the effect of initial doses of first-generation statin drugs.
  • The findings suggest that a carefully designed diet can achieve significant heart disease risk reduction, potentially matching the benefits of medication.]
