    Key Findings

    Pectin intake produced a dose-dependent reduction in LDL cholesterol, with about 0.07 mmol/L lowering per gram per day.

    Conclusions

    Unmodified pectin, not the modified form, carries the lipid evidence.

    Limitations

    Modified citrus pectin not evaluated separately.

    Supplements Studied

    Pectin intake reduced LDL cholesterol dose-dependently, though modified citrus pectin was not assessed separately.

    Outcomes Measured
