What it means is that besides sugar and insulin, LDL cholesterol goes down too with soluble fiber... The science is valid, I was getting the same information from Inulin, and from FOS (fructo-oligosaccharide) which are also water-soluble fibers. They reduce LDL and especially VLDL cholesterol, insulin, and blood sugar. However, while Inulin and FOS are bifidogenic, glucomannan is not identified as bifidogenic soluble fiber, meaning it does not support the growth of beneficial bowel flora. Also, guar gum, another soluble fiber, is strongly bifidogenic and <!--more--> highly viscous. Duncan Crow I think you’ve found something there Jennifer.

the growth of beneficial bowel flora.

Also, guar gum, another soluble fiber, is strongly bifidogenic and

highly viscous.

The konjac glucomanann is the most viscosity soluble fiber in the
nature.

I just found a new kind pasta, which was made by konjac glucomannan
and water, is very low calories and very low glycemic nature food,
which contain about 96% water and 4% soluble fiber
