See the technical phrasing
Foods high in unsaturated fats and low in saturated and trans fats, with added plant sterols/stanols, and high in soluble fiber (e.g., oats, barley, psyllium) likely cause at least moderate reductions (0.20–0.40 mmol/L) in LDL cholesterol, based on evidence from RCTs (methods unverified), which supports dietary strategies for managing hypercholesterolemia.
