The results were “comparable” with the “normal fat” – the five percent fat group.
“Whole pinto bean-supplemented hamsters had significantly lower liver cholesterol and higher faecal cholesterol concentrations than those fed the high-saturated fat diet,” the study explains.
It concludes: “Pinto beans remediated high cholesterol induced by high saturated fat diets in male hamsters by decreasing hepatic cholesterol synthesis and intestinal cholesterol absorption, effects which were partially exerted by the hulls.”
Generally a healthy level of total cholesterol in the blood is considered to be five or less millimoles per litre (mmol/l).
