Absence of effect of bran on blood-lipids.
Healthy medical students were divided into two groups.  One group was given double the normal fibre intake of their diet as a high-fibre-containing breakfast cereal; the other group (control) was given a breakfast cereal containing negligible amounts of dietary fibre.  Otherwise the nutrient intake of the two groups was maintained constant.  No differences in the serum-cholesterol, serum-triglyceride, serum-calcium levels were found between the two groups during or at the end of the study.  The addition of a tolerable amount of dietary fibre to the diet does not affect serum-lipids.
