Just two days of oatmeal cut bad cholesterol by 10%
A randomized controlled trial from the University of Bonn found that two days of an oat-only, calorie-reduced diet lowered LDL cholesterol by about 10% in people with metabolic syndrome. The regimen also produced modest weight loss, reduced blood pressure, and the LDL benefit persisted at six weeks.
Why it matters10% LDL drop after a two-day oat plan persisted six weeks; clinicians can use brief diet lead‑ins to lower patient LDL.
