Summary:
Subjects were given diets with different kinds, but the same amount of fats, and their cholesterol measured against a baseline diet enriched with butter, which has a high saturated fat content
LDL cholesterol was reduced 12%, 11%, 9%, 7%, and 5% respectively, after diets enriched with soybean oil, semiliquid margarine, soft margarine, shortening, and stick margarine
Ratios of HDL to total cholesterol were lowest after consumption of soybean oil and semiliquid margarine and highest after stick margarine
Comment:
Consumption of products low in trans-fatty acids and saturated fat is beneficial for cholesterol levels
