Yes, you can control your cholesterol levels through diet, but could it be as simple as adding a corn flour blend to your meals for just a few weeks? Researchers have found that incorporating a blend of refined corn flour and corn bran can reduce LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels by 5% to 13.3% in just four weeks.
In a clinical trial involving 36 adults with LDL cholesterol above 110 mg/dL, researchers evaluated the consumption of three types of corn flour: whole-grain corn meal, refined corn meal, and a blend (refined corn meal plus corn bran). The participants took each food intervention for four weeks, with at least a two-week break in between, before returning to their baseline.
