The Claim
Daily intake of 30 grams of blended rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame seed oils for 8 weeks is associated with a small but statistically significant increase in body weight (+0.7%) in Chinese adults with borderline hypercholesterolemia, despite improvements in other cardiometabolic markers.
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 Chinese adults with borderline high cholesterol, consuming 30 grams per day of a blend of rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame seed oils for 8 weeks results in a 0.7% increase in body weight, while other cardiometabolic markers improve.
