Interestingly, the soluble fiber in oats attaches to
cholesterol molecules and transports them
out of the body rather than being absorbed into the
bloodstream, which can help lower
cholesterol and reduce the risk
of heart disease.
The liver then bundles triglycerides (liver - made - fat) with
cholesterol and protein sending it
out into the
bloodstream as VLDL, the second largest lipoprotein and main transporter
of liver - made - fat which can go on for several hours after a meal unloading its triglycerides.
