| Abstract | Beneficial nutrients or supplements like n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and cis-monounsaturated fatty acids versus saturated fatty acids and trans-fatty acids are reviewed. Interest has also been aroused in antioxidant nutrients like vitamin C and E and [B]-carotene. Dietary fibre, dietary cholesterol, alcohol and some other foods are also related to lipid change. Based on these data, various diet guidelines have been proposed for treating hyperlipidaemia. Positive results have been shown by the use of these modified diets on cholesterol lowering. Finally, some hints on how to translate recommendations and express in terms of foods are given. Some examples of how to facilitate fat reductions are listed out. |
