Diet trials to monitor how changes in food consumption affect blood fat Part of this research was conducted in a dietary intervention study at the University of Reading, U.K., which involved 113 participants. For 16 weeks, one group consumed a diet high in saturated animal fats, while the other group followed a diet rich in unsaturated plant-based fats.
