Abstract: | Serum total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and triglyceride levels were studied in healthy male
and female subjects consuming for one-week periods a diet of conventional food (CF) providing 42% of energy as fat, principally
butter fat, and then in random order nutritionally complete, defined formula diets of moderate (32%) to very low (1%) fat
content. Compared to CF, the formula with 32% of energy as corn oil lowered serum cholesterol by 25% and the ratio of total
to HDL-cholesterol by 13%. Low (9%) and very low (1–3%) fat formulas reduced HDL-cholesterol by as much as 40%, raised the
total: HDL-cholesterol ratio by about 20% and raised serum triglyceride levels by as much as 100%. When low and very low fat
formulas were ingested for three weeks, these effects persisted although maximal responses occurred during the first week.
These results demonstrated that a moderate fat formula diet with a high P/S ratio had a more favorable effect on serum lipid
levels than various low fat formulas. Low fat conventional food diets should be studied in long-term controlled metabolic
experiments before such diets are recommended to the general population for coronary heart disease or cancer prevention. |
