Current evidence on the effects of palm oil consumption on biomarkers of glucose metabolism is poor and limited to only healthy participants .
We conclude that little or no additional benefit will be obtained by replacing palm oil with other oils rich in mono or polyunsaturated fatty acids for changes in glucose metabolism
INTRODUCTION Vegetable oil is an important source of fatty acids , and as palm oil being the highest consumed vegetable oil in many countries , its high saturated fatty acid content has led many concerns on cardiometabolic health .
Dietary fatty acids has also been linked to affect glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity .
This systematic review is aim ed at critically evaluating the available evidence on the association of palm oil with the biomarkers of glucose metabolism as compared to other vegetable oils .
Influence of hydrogenated fat and butter on CVD risk factors: remnant-like particles, glucose and insulin, blood pressure and C-reactive protein.
Dietary trans fatty acids/partially-hydrogenated fat has been associated with increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease ( CVD ) , possibly greater than predicted from changes in lipoprotein levels . To explore this issue further potential risk factors were assessed in subjects provided with each of six diets in r and omized order containing as the major source of fat : soybean oil , semi-liquid margarine , soft margarine , shortening , traditional stick margarine or butter .  Plasma fatty acid profiles reflected diet , with triglyceride and phospholipid subfractions affected to a greater extent than cholesteryl ester . Non-fasting LDL-cholesterol levels were 144+/-27 , 141+/-27 , 146+/-26 , 148+/-30 , 151+/-29 and 165+/-31 mg/dl ( P<0.001 ) and total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratios were 5.50+/-1.25 , 5.54+/-1.50 , 5.69+/-1.29 , 5.82+/-1.40 , 6.11+/-1.30 and 5.94+/-1.43 ( P=0.011 ) , respectively , whereas other lipoprotein levels were not significantly different . Remnant-like particles levels were unaffected by dietary fat , either in the fasting or non-fasting state . Differences in fasting insulin and glucose levels were small and would not be predicted to have a large impact on glucose homeostasis . There was no significant effect of dietary fat type on C-reactive protein levels or blood pressure . These data suggest that , as previously demonstrated , the major CVD risk factor adversely affected by dietary trans fatty acids/partially-hydrogenated fat is LDL-cholesterol levels and total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratios
