Witschi, Jelia C. | Singer, Martha | Wu-Lee, Marion | Stare, Fredrick J.
Extract: An average reduction in serum cholesterol approximating 10 percent was achieved in a short term family centered study in which intakes of cholesterol and saturated fats were decreased and sunflower oil and margarine were added as the major sources of polyunsaturated fats. Changes were evident in all fat containing food groups; meat was the least altered. A high degree of cooperation was evident in participating families, implying the possibilities for complete family cooperation in preventive or therapeutic dietary programs. Approximately three months after the end of the test period, cholesterol levels had returned to pre diet levels, indicating the need for continuation of the changed regimen if cholesterol lowering is to be maintained.
