The influence of saturated fatty acid consumption on energy and nutrient intake, blood lipid levels and iron indicators in a group of young women

The aim of the present investigation was to study the effects, in a group of 130 young women, of diets in which saturated fatty acid (SFA) content provided either < 10% of total energy intake (low consumption-LC) or >10% (high consumption-HC), on energy and nutrient intake, a range of serum li...

Description
Summary:The aim of the present investigation was to study the effects, in a group of 130 young women, of diets in which saturated fatty acid (SFA) content provided either < 10% of total energy intake (low consumption-LC) or >10% (high consumption-HC), on energy and nutrient intake, a range of serum lipid parameters (indicators of cardiovascular risk), and the biochemical and blood indicators of iron status. Positive and significant correlations were found between energy supplied by SFA and the intake of meat (r=0.2500) (P
