The Claim
Daily consumption of 30 grams of blended rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame seed oils for 8 weeks has no significant effect on HDL-cholesterol or apoA1 concentrations in Chinese adults with borderline hypercholesterolemia.
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.
Taking 30 grams of a blend of rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame seed oils daily for 8 weeks does not change levels of HDL-cholesterol or apoA1 in Chinese adults with borderline high cholesterol.
See the scientific wording
Daily consumption of 30 grams of blended rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame seed oils for 8 weeks does not significantly alter HDL-cholesterol or apoA1 concentrations in Chinese adults with borderline hypercholesterolemia, indicating these oils improve lipid profiles without increasing protective lipoproteins.
The oils change the types of fats in the blood, which lowers bad cholesterol by increasing its removal from the bloodstream, but the body keeps making the same amount of good cholesterol and its main protein partner.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that eating 30 grams of a special oil blend every day for 8 weeks lowered bad cholesterol and blood pressure, but didn’t raise the good cholesterol that helps clean out arteries — just like the claim said.
