Study designRandomised controlled trial
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific titleThe effect of a combination of dietary factors (viscous fibers, vegetable proteins and plant sterols) on cholesterol reduction in hyperlipidemic subjects
Study objectivesLowering foods is more effective than current conventional low saturated fat diets.
Ethics approval(s)St Michael's Hospital - Research Ethics Board, 16/09/2004
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedHypercholesterolemia
InterventionTest group: soy foods, viscous fiber foods (oats and barley etc.), almonds and other nuts, plant sterol margarine prescribed as routine advice or intensive advice
Control group: low saturated fat, high fruit, vegetables and whole grain cereal advice
