The Claim
Two distinct blends of refined rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame seed oils, administered at equivalent doses to 30 grams per day of refined olive oil over 8 weeks, produce similar improvements in blood lipid profiles and blood pressure 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.
In Chinese adults with borderline high cholesterol, two oil blends made from rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame seed lower blood lipids and blood pressure just as much as 30 grams of olive oil per day over eight weeks.
See the scientific wording
Two distinct blends of refined rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame seed oils improve blood lipid profiles and blood pressure to a similar extent as 30 grams per day of refined olive oil over 8 weeks in Chinese adults with borderline hypercholesterolemia, indicating no superior effect of either blend over olive oil.
Plant compounds in the oils block the liver from making too much cholesterol and help remove bad cholesterol from the blood, while omega-3 fats reduce inflammation in blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
What the research says
1 studyThis study found that two special oil mixes made from rice bran, flaxseed, and sesame seeds lowered cholesterol and blood pressure just as well as olive oil when people ate the same amount for 8 weeks. So, no one oil was better than the others.
