Journal ArticleDOI

Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the food chain in the United States

TL;DR: Alternative strategies, such as food enrichment and the use of biotechnology to manipulate the EPA and DHA as well as ALA contents of the food supply, will become increasingly important in increasing n-3 fatty acid intake in the US population.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-monounsaturated fatty acid diets lower both plasma cholesterol and triacylglycerol concentrations.

TL;DR: A high-MUFA, cholesterol-lowering diet may be preferable to a low-fat diet because of more favorable effects on the CVD risk profile.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low Fat and High Monounsaturated Fat Diets Decrease Human Low Density Lipoprotein Oxidative Susceptibility In Vitro

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that lower-fat and higher-fat blood cholesterol-lowering diets high in MUFA have similar effects on LDL oxidative resistance and suggest that different high MUFA sources varying in the ratio of MUFA to PUFA can be incorporated into a highMUFA diet without increasing the susceptibility of LDL to oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Iron status in association with cardiovascular disease risk in 3 controlled feeding studies

TL;DR: Diet composition may affect plasma iron in men, but LDL oxidative susceptibility is unaffected by the subtle variation in iron status, and results do not support a relation between iron status and LDL oxidation susceptibility, a possible risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
