If a person has a lot of cholesterol in their body, it can harm their health. One type of milk can help in this case.

A review published by the Royal Society of Chemistry states that one type of milk has a beneficial effect on blood cholesterol levels. Scientists have found that oat milk specifically lowers cholesterol. This is thought to be due to B-glucan, which is found in oats.

According to the charity Heart UK, beta-glucan is a form of soluble fibre that can stop the absorption of cholesterol-rich bile acids. It is recommended to take 3g of beta-glucan on a cholesterol-lowering day.

In addition, beta-glucan is also found in oatmeal, oat biscuits, breakfast cereals and oat cakes.
