The intake of dietary fiber among people living in Western countries remains low, and according to the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), it averages 17 g per day in the United States.24 Although patients with diabetes are advised to increase their intake of dietary fiber, in the NHANES study, their average daily intake was found to be only 16 g. 24 Why the intake of dietary fiber in patients with diabetes remains low — despite its well - documented effect of lowering plasma cholesterol concentrations — remains unexplained.

As compared with the ADA diet, the high - fiber diet resulted in a lower fasting plasma total cholesterol concentration (by 6.7 percent, P = 0.02), a lower plasma triglyceride concentration (by 10.2 percent, P = 0.02), and a lower plasma VLDL cholesterol concentration (by 12.5 percent, P = 0.01)(Table 4).
