How Different Dietary Fibers Impact LDL-Cholesterol, Insulin Resistance, and Cardiovascular Risk
Dietary fiber has a profound impact on our health, including on our risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). In this video, we discuss the impact of different types of dietary fiber on two key ASCVD risk factors, LDL-cholesterol and insulin resistance.
Blood Lipids and Cardiovascular Risk: Everything You Need to Know
