Summary

This is a randomised trial in which healthy volunteers, men and women aged 50-75 years from the general community are randomized into one of three arms: participants will be provided with 50 gm extra virgin coconut oil, or 50 grams butter or 50 extra virgin olive oil to be eaten daily for a month. The food will be provided in the form of processed cheese to mask participants. The key outcome is blood low density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations and secondary outcomes blood lipid profile (total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides) and anthropometric measures: weight and waist circumference. This trial is powered to detect a difference of 0.5 mmol/L LDL-cholesterol difference between the trial arms.
