AI Summary

A Norwegian randomized controlled trial, CARBFUNC, examined the effects of nearly doubling saturated fat intake over two years. Participants received a diet where almost one‑third of their energy came from saturated fat, compared with the typical recommendation of less than one‑tenth. The study found that this high‑fat diet produced favorable changes in several cardiovascular risk markers while not raising apoB, the protein that carries cholesterol in the blood. The trial, led by Professor Simon Dankel and first authored by Ph.D. candidate Cathrine Loddervik, is the first to prescribe such a high saturated‑fat intake for an extended period. The results are published in eBioMedicine.
