Laxative Lowers
Cholesterol
Recently there has been much
interest in reports which indicated
that various natural and processed
food products had the ability to
lowcrbloodcholcstcrollevels. Most
of the attention has been directed
toward foods which contain differ-
ing amounts of fiber. Researchers
have reported a 10 to 15 percent re-
duction in blood levels of choles-
terol in individuals who ingested
psyllium, one of several fiber-based
preparations that is used as a laxa-
tive. In a study of 26 men at a
Veterans Administration Hospital,
reduced cholesterol levels returned
to previously high levels when
psyllium was discontinued.
In a more recent study at the
University of Minnesota, psyllium
’ was evaluated in 75 patients with
mild to moderately elevated blood
cholesterol. The placebo group
(modified diets without psyllium)
achk ved some reduction in choles-
terol. The test group (modified
diets plus a tcaspoonful of psyllium
dissolved in water with meals three
limes a day) achieved an additional
8 percent reduction in LDL choles-
terol and a 5 percent reduction in
total blood cholesterol. Research-
ers, who published their findings in
a recent issue of the Journal of the
American Medical Association,
indicated that, in certain patients,
“physicians may wish lo consider
this form of treatment before trying
drug therapy"
