Managing cholesterol levels now can pay off later in life, and leading U.S. cardiologists have published new guidelines to help people achieve that end. The updated information includes recommendations for early detection and lifestyle changes. Yeah, you may already know this, but this @ScienceAlert@flipboard.com article is worth a quick read:

For individuals with metabolic syndrome, a two-day calorie-restricted diet of oats produced a 10 percent decrease in LDL. The reduction persisted for 6 weeks. A six-week lower-dose supplementation with oats was not as effective. The gut microbiome shifted to increase metabolism of phenols, and those metabolites may have a role in LDL reduction.
