The Claim

Dietary fatty acids modulate plasma markers of inflammation in healthy men consuming controlled diets for 5 weeks, with different fatty acids producing distinct effects on inflammatory biomarkers.

Source: Dietary fatty acids affect plasma markers of inflammation in healthy men fed controlled diets: a randomized crossover study.

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.

How it works
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Eating different types of fats can change the levels of inflammation markers in your blood. When healthy men ate controlled diets for 5 weeks, the specific type of fat they ate determined how their inflammation markers went up or down.

  1. Study: Dietary fatty acids affect plasma markers of inflammation in healthy men fed controlled diets: a randomized crossover study.

    The study fed 50 healthy men different diets with specific fatty acids for 5 weeks and found that each type of fatty acid changed inflammation markers differently - some increased certain markers while others decreased them, proving that dietary fats can indeed affect inflammation in humans.
