Is it good to mix soluble and insoluble fibre?

Question

My LDL cholesterol was OK while I ate Cheerios (soluble fibre- oat bran) every morning. I switched to Kellogg's Raisin Brand Crunch (insoluble fibre- wheat bran) and my LDL went too high. I see that soluble fibre is good for lowering LDL and insoluble fibre good for regularity and bulking up. My question is it is wise to have both or is one fighting the other? I feel a lot better, regularity wise, with the raisin brand but LDL was lower with the Cheerios, I believe. I might add that I take two Citrucel tablets each morning.
Any opinions?
Thank you,

No switching fibers like that for your breakfast won't change things that much. In all honesty I think it's the rest of your diet that is making your LDL levels higher. I don't eat cereal at all and have low LDL levels and very high HDL levels which is what you want. If you go to myfitnesspal.com and log your meals for a few days and send me a link to it, via the email on here, I could actually help you with your diet and such for lowering your LDL levels.

By the logic these people are using that would make it normal to die of a heart attack during sex simply because of the intensity. Which, yeah, believable, but unlikely. Not sure why you'd be dizzy, maybe you should tone it down some. If you start slow, then towards the end you speed it up and it exaggerates things on its own :p
