However, the cardiovascular effects of substituting PUFAs for SFAs have never been tested in randomized, well - controlled clinical trials, and a growing proportion of experts now suspect that simple
changes in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol may not tell the whole story.
They found that «there were no significant
changes in total cholesterol concentrations» with a lot of variation within subjects.
Not exact matches
There were also significant
changes seen
in secondary endpoints — body weight fell by 2.32 kg, diastolic blood pressure by 4.9 mm Hg,
total cholesterol by 18.48 mg / dl, and heart rate by.27 beats / min.
According to studies reported
in the literature, avocados have the most beneficial effects on lipid profiles, with
changes to LDL -
cholesterol, HDL -
cholesterol, triglycerides,
total cholesterol, and phospholipids.
And when we eat foods that are rich
in cholesterol the liver simply starts producing less of it, so the
total amount of
cholesterol in the body
changes very little, depending on our diet.
In a recent analysis of 10 studies examining the impact of eating avocados, blood
cholesterol,
total cholesterol, LDL -
cholesterol (bad
cholesterol), and triglycerides fell by 20 to 30 mg / dl on average while HDL (good
cholesterol) did not
change.
Of these, several have reported post-treatment reductions
in total cholesterol 12, 53, triglyceride 12, 53 and increases in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.20 In studies using normotensive rats, three to six months of IER has been observed to lower blood pressure 16 - 19 and heart rate 16, 17, 19, with the magnitude of the change comparable to CER (40 % ER / day) rats.19 In accordance with these findings areimprovements in aortic endothelium - dependent and heart rate variability (a marker of sympatho - vagal balance) in IER - fed rats.

I cut out all the coconut oil and butter I was consuming and on 3/11/2013, only a few weeks after my initial NRM lipid profile, this really didn't lead to any
change in my LDL - C or
total cholesterol (I decided to cheap out since the standard
cholesterol test is only $ 29 while the NMR lipid profile is around $ 100 with my initial NMR test I could see that I wasn't one of those people who had discordant LDL - C vs LDL - P).
«This systematic review and meta - regression analysis of 108 randomised controlled trials using lipid modifying interventions did not show an association between treatment mediated
change in high density lipoprotein
cholesterol and risk ratios for coronary heart disease events, coronary heart disease deaths, or
total deaths whenever
change in low density lipoprotein
cholesterol was taken into account.
Although my
total cholesterol did indeed decrease, this wasn't a welcome
change because the decrease was the result of a reduction
in exclusively HDL.
We found a statistically significant, substantial association between
change in low density lipoprotein
cholesterol and risk ratios for coronary heart disease events, coronary heart disease deaths, or
total deaths, adjusted for other lipid subfractions and drug class.»
Changes in fasting plasma glucose, fasting insulin, blood pressure, and
total, LDL, and HDL
cholesterol were similar across dietary treatments (P ≥ 0.20).
From the same 12 - wk trial but
in another article, blood pressure,
total cholesterol, LDL
cholesterol, weight, fat mass, and other factors — including DNA damage measures — were
changed by fasting (35).
In this study, blood levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol did not significantly change, but blood fat levels (in the form of triglycerides) increased and HDL cholesterol (the «good» cholesterol) decrease
In this study, blood levels of
total cholesterol and LDL

in the form of triglycerides) increased and HDL
cholesterol (the «good»
cholesterol) decreased.
Furthermore, if we take into account
total and HDL
cholesterol, lauric and stearic acid both become better than carbs
in terms of favorable
changes in the body.
On the other hand, whereas smaller increases
in HDL
cholesterol are observed with substitution of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats for carbohydrate, these dietary
changes result
in significant reductions
in the
total: HDL -
cholesterol ratio (67).
In the acute postprandial response to meals high in saturated fat, high in polyunsaturated fat, or low in total fat, no changes were observed in LDL triglyceride or cholesterol composition, ie, there were no changes in density (77

Dark chocolate consumption has also been suggested to have lipid modifying effects, decreasing
total and low density lipoprotein
cholesterol levels and increasing high density lipoprotein
cholesterol levels.11 However, these
changes have also only been explored
in short term trials, lasting 2 - 18 weeks.
