I am inclined to agree with you. In particular, the lower levels
of alkaline phosphatase in type As may increase the need for
soluble fiber to pull residual cholesterol out of the gut. I
have been using a supplement, however, with inconsistent effects.
Possibly 15g of supplemental fiber is not enough, in conjunction
with my variable intake of dietary fiber.
