Cardiovascular disease and fiber: is insulin
resistance the missing link?

Multiple mechanisms are likely for any effect of fiber on cardiovascular
disease risk. One component that is described is the hypocholesterolemic
activity of soluble fibers as they bind bile acids. New epidemiologic
evidence indicates that fiber's modulation of insulin secretion
and resistance deserves additional attention.
