Choate regulates not only blood sugar, but also cholesterol. Beta-glucan protects the mucous membranes in the digestive system, says Zielke Restmeier, of the German Nutrition Society. “Beta-glucan also binds bile juices and contributes to their excretion, and to compensate for them, the body resorts to cholesterol to produce new juices.” Therefore, the level of cholesterol in oats decreases.
