Prof. David Jenkins, a leading expert in lipid-lowering diets, discusses innovative dietary strategies to manage LDL cholesterol. He introduces the Portfolio Diet, highlighting the benefits of soy protein, viscous fibers, nuts, and plant sterols. The conversation dives into the history of the glycemic index and its impact on nutrition. Jenkins also explores how viscous fibers help lower cholesterol and the significance of adopting a plant-based approach for health and sustainability. The potential of diet as an alternative to statins is a key takeaway in this enlightening dialogue.
