The Claim
In adults with untreated hypercholesterolemia, an 8-week dietary intervention providing 30% of energy from cottonseed oil or olive oil resulted in no significant changes in inflammatory or coagulation markers from baseline to follow-up.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In adults with high cholesterol, eating a diet where 30% of calories came from either cottonseed oil or olive oil for 8 weeks did not change levels of inflammatory or blood clotting markers.
See the scientific wording
In adults with untreated hypercholesterolemia, an 8-week dietary intervention providing 30% of energy from either cottonseed oil or olive oil did not result in significant changes in inflammatory or coagulation markers from baseline to follow-up, indicating that neither diet type induced measurable changes in these biomarkers in this population.
When people eat diets high in either cottonseed oil or olive oil, the types of fats do not trigger stronger inflammation or blood clotting signals in the body, so levels of related molecules stay the same over time.
What the research says
1 studyIn people with high cholesterol, eating lots of cottonseed oil (omega-6) or olive oil for 8 weeks didn’t change their body’s inflammation or blood clotting levels — so neither diet made things worse or better on those measures.
