Helping to lower cholesterol: Adding soluble fiber from oats

As part of a heart-healthy diet, eating certain foods that contain soluble fiber can help lower your cholesterol. These include:

• Whole grain foods made from oats and barley
• Whole grain oat cereal
• Oatmeal

How can we help?

3 grams of soluble fiber daily from whole grain oat foods, like original Cheerios® and Honey Nut Cheerios cereal, in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Original Cheerios cereal provides 1 gram per serving; Honey Nut Cheerios cereal provides 0.75 gram per serving.
