Highlights
The traditional Sri Lankan diet is low in fat content, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases is high
The expected outcome of the study is an improved understanding of the differences in cardiometabolic risk factors between the consumption of coconut oil and palm oil
The latest World Health Organization (WHO) report has highlighted that Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) account for 41 million deaths each year, equivalent to 71% of all global mortality [1]
Summary
The traditional Sri Lankan diet is low in fat content, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases is high. This probably correlate with high saturated fat and cholesterol intake. This study is to investigate the impact of coconut oil and palm oil as cooking oil media, which are the primary dietary saturated fat sources among Sri Lankans, on cardio-metabolic risk factors.
