A cornerstone of dietary advice for cardiovascular health has been to reduce the intake of total fat to less than 35% of total energy intake, and to reduce saturated fat (SFA) intake to under 11% of total energy intake. However, recent research evidence, as well as media coverage, on the type and amount of dietary fat in obesity and the development and management of type 2 diabetes and cardiova...

Introduction The question of whether or not a direct association exists between dietary fat and postmenopausal breast cancer risk has been the focus of numerous ecological, migrant, prospective cohort, case-control, and experimental studies conducted over the last several decades (1). No clear answer to this question, however, has yet been uncovered, and a considerable amount of controversy on ...

Expert scientific advice to the UK Government has been translated into eight general dietary guidelines, which form the core of population-based dietary advice in the UK and are supplemented by a food selection guide showing the types and proportions of foods needed for a balanced and healthy diet. Data from the Dietary and Nutritional Survey of British Adults were used to identify statisticall...

• The first experimental evidence that cholesterol is an atherogenic factor was presented by Anitschkovv and Chalatow. Rittenberg and Schoenheimer's demonstration that animals can synthesize cholesterol, and other investigationswhich show that dietary fat can effectively influence serum cholesterol levels in man, focused attention on dietary lipids other than cholesterol in atherogenesis. Exper...

AIM To re-examine the contentious relation between diet and plasma lipids within a population. DESIGN Cross sectional sample from a large prospective cohort study of people eating different diets in Britain. Blood samples and diet records collected from subjects. SUBJECTS Volunteers eating one of four distinct diets--namely, vegans, vegetarians, fish eaters who do not eat meat, and meat eat...

Crossbred pigs (n = 512) with an average initial BW of 22.1 +/- 0.54 kg were used to evaluate growth performance, carcass characteristics, and pork fat quality of grower-finisher pigs fed corn-soybean meal diets containing increasing content of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS). One of 4 dietary treatments was randomly assigned to each pen within sex. Dietary treatment and sex were t...

The increased inclusion of unsaturated fats in pig diets has raised issues related to pork carcass fat quality. The objective of this experiment was to more precisely measure how differing levels of daily fatty acid intake alters the fatty acid composition in 3 different fat depots. A total of 42 gilts and 21 barrows (PIC 337×C22/29) with an average initial weight of 77.80±0.38 kg were allotted...

an experiment was conducted to study the effects of dietary levels of extruded full fat soybean (effsb) on performance, blood metabolites and intestinal morphology of broiler chickens. a batch of ffsb was wet extruded at 155 °c, 15 seconds to provide the extruded full fat soybean (effsb) sample. one hundred and forty four d-old ross 308 male broiler chicks were divided into 12 groups with 12 bi...

background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is the most common endocrinopathy in women. it may involve an impairment in physiologic regulation of leptin and ghrelin. there is limited, controversial data on the relation of dietary components with leptin and ghrelin in pcos, so the current study has been conducted to explore the effects of different macronutrients on serum levels of leptin and g...

BACKGROUND: Does dietary fat play a central role in weight gain and development of obesity? Do low-fat diets have adverse effects on blood lipids? OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN: To answer these questions we have reviewed the evidence linking the dietary fat content to energy balance and obesity, and examined the efficacy and safety of ad libitum low fat, high carbohydrate=protein diets in the prevention...
