Corn bran anyone?

That article is from 2001, more recent studies prove it wrong. Plus, Atkins
is NOT high protein, it's high fat, moderate protein.

if switching to low carb is ALL it takes to get off the statin drugs then
surely it would be getting more attention than you seem to imply...

Think that all you like, but the fact remains that low carbing on its
own is at least as effective as any one drug once you've been low
carbing for 6+ months.

There are links like below that say low-carb diets do the opposite (raise
cholesterol)

All of the accurate ones discuss the first 6 months, and then
carefully ignore that after those first 6 months low carbing does
in fact work for about 80%. It would suck to be in the 20% but
consider that is without ever even trying the first medication and
so it doesn't eliminate any of the available meds.

It's from 2001. Far more data is available at this point.

Putting it into low fat products certainly makes sense. Other
products would be a matter of perspective whether you think
it makes sense. Consider that corn intolerance may be the
most common grain allergy.

Since bran is (soluble or insoluble?) fiber it isn't fat and doesn't
count against carb counts. That makes it a substitute that
gives a filling feeling. Also vast amounts of corn/maize are
grown for livestock fodder, to make HFCS and many other uses
so the bran is there looking for a use.
