Oats and oat-containing foods Soluble fiber beta glucan Reduce cholesterol... 

Insoluble fibers include the polysaccharides cellulose and hemicellu-lose. They facilitate the movement of waste through the digestive tract. Examples of soluble fibers are the p-glucans—also polysaccharides—that have attracted a good deal of attention due to the claim that they lower blood cholesterol levels. Beta-glucans are found in most cereals and occur at relatively high levels in the bran of oats and barley (See Chapter 13).
