This study will examine the effect of a healthy diet containing cottonseed oil compared to healthy diets containing other commonly consumed plant oils on biomarkers of heart and metabolic health after 4 weeks.
This is a 3-period randomized crossover complete feeding study examining if a dietary pattern containing cottonseed oil improves lipids/lipoproteins and other cardiometabolic disease risk factors to a greater extent than a fatty acid matched diet devoid of cottonseed oil and a diet lower in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and saturated fatty acids (SFA), but with a matched PUFA:SFA ratio
