Cardiologists and dietitians in the US and Canada are advising consumers to check cereal labels for fibre and other nutrients linked with heart health. Higher fibre intake is associated with lower heart disease risk and may help manage LDL cholesterol, blood sugar and inflammation. Adults are generally advised to consume 25 to 30 grams of fibre daily. Experts suggest choosing cereals listing whole grain or bran first, with about five grams or more of fibre per serving and little added sugar, saturated fat or sodium. Oat bran contains beta-glucan, which may modestly reduce LDL cholesterol. The report stresses that no single cereal prevents heart disease and that overall diet and lifestyle remain important.
