Expert quote:
“Black beans are rich in a viscous, soluble fiber that interferes with the reabsorption of cholesterol-rich bile acids in your gut..The bile acids are ‘grabbed’ by the fiber before they can be reabsorbed by the body, and end up being excreted along with the fiber in your stool. Your body then has to remove cholesterol in your blood to generate new bile acids in the liver. Presto—your blood cholesterol levels are lowered.” – Clinical Professor of Nutrition Joan Salge Blake
