High adherence to a personalized dietary program significantly reduces LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B, whereas standard dietary advice does not, suggesting personalization may be necessary for lipid management in certain individuals.
If you have high cholesterol, a personalized diet that accounts for your specific biological response to food may be more effective at lowering LDL and ApoB than standard guidelines, provided you adhere closely to the personalized advice.

LDL-C was reduced in highly adherent PDP participants... Greater changes in outcomes were observed in adherent PDP versus adherent control groups for... apolipoprotein B (−7.94 ± 13.7 versus −1.14 ± 12.8 mg dl−1, P = 0.025) and total cholesterol (−0.40 ± 0.51 versus −0.13 ± 0.63 mmol l−1, P = 0.047)
Why this rating
Post-hoc subgroup analysis; while statistically significant, it is not the primary endpoint and requires high adherence.
