Two-Day Intensive Oat Diet Significantly Lowers LDL Cholesterol, Study Finds

Researchers at the University of Bonn demonstrated that a highly restricted, two-day diet consisting solely of oatmeal reduced harmful LDL cholesterol by 10% in subjects with metabolic syndrome. This intense intervention also resulted in an average weight loss of two kilograms and minor blood pressure reduction. The study suggests short, regular oat-intensive periods may offer a viable preventative dietary strategy.
