Abstract: | The specific effects of individual fatty acids (FA) on plasma cholesterol levels, in the range habitually consumed by humans,
is not usually presented by the literature. Conclusions have been made regarding the cholesterolemic effect of individual
FA, even though these FA cannot be tested individually. It appears that FA balance of the diet may be more important than
individual FA intakes. Variation in plasma cholesterol response to diet is influenced by many factors, such as gene-nutrient
interactions. The effect on human health of current processes used in the food industry that are certain to change dietary
fat composition and TG structure is yet to be fully explored. Some of the relevant research regarding dietary fat and plasma
cholesterol levels is reviewed. |
