Does FIBER Reduce CV RISK? PT 2: Recent COCHRANE "Umbrella" review - FORD BREWER MD MPH

Episode Summary

This is Pt 2 in a series on Dietary Fiber & CV disease. What's the scientific evidence. I mention some $ wars between Proctor & Gamble and General Mills. Then I go into an "umbrella" Cochrane review. It turns out that, even though it's not in a world-leading journal, it's actually pretty good. This video goes into some detail. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5731843/ This was previously the most quoted science in this area - from 2000. The 2 big problems: 1. an affiliation with Proctor & Gamble; and 2. the assumption that lower cholesterol actually makes a big difference.
