Effects of coconut oil, olive oil, and butter on plasma fatty acids and metabolic risk factors: a randomized trial.

ABSTRACT: There is limited evidence on the effects of different dietary sources of fats on detailed blood fatty acids (FAs). We aimed to evaluate the effects of coconut oil, olive oil and butter on circulating FA concentrations, and examine the associations between changes in plasma FAs and changes in metabolic markers. We conducted secondary analyses in the COB (coconut oil, olive oil and butter) Trial that evaluated 96 healthy adults in a 4-week parallel randomized clinical trial of three dietary interventions: 50 g/d of extra-virgin coconut oil (n = 30), extra-virgin olive oil (n = 33), or unsalted butter (n = 33). We measured plasma phospholipid FA concentrations (mol% of total) using gas chromatography. Using linear regression, we estimated the effects of the interventions on changes in FAs and
