A lipid-lowering diet which uses rapeseed oil for children and adolescents with familial hypercholesterolemia appears to have an effect on total serum cholesterol and low-density lipid cholesterol similar to that of classical cholesterol lowering diets.
But, the rapeseed oil diet also appears to lower triglycerides and very-low density lipid cholesterol, say Talin Gulesserian, MD, and Kurt Widhalm, MD, of the department of pediatrics, University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.
Seventeen children and young adolescents (male = six, female = 11, ages four to 19 years) diagnosed with familial hypercholesterolemia received dietary training and a classical low fat, low cholesterol diet enriched with rapeseed oil over five months. In the first two months, they received orally an average 15 grams per day of rapeseed oil, and for the remaining three months an average of 22 grams a day.
