Effect of Rice Bran and Cooked Navy Beans on Cholesterol Levels in Healthy Children

Completed · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Hyperlipidemias

In brief

A multidisciplinary team of clinicians and researchers will conduct a pilot feasibility study to evaluate whether dietary intake of dry bean powder or rice bran or a combination is a helpful dietary recommendation to reduce total cholesterol levels in children with identified, modifiable CVD risk factors, elevated total cholesterol and obesity. Consumption of dry bean powder and rice bran merit additional investigation to study feasibility and acceptability in children and how they influence their lipid levels or obesity.
