Details

This report considers the relationship between saturated fats, health outcomes and risk factors for non-communicable diseases in the general UK population.

The role of saturated fats in health was last considered by the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy (COMA, the predecessor of SACN) in the reports on 바카라 사이트˜Dietary Reference Values for Food Energy and Nutrients for the United Kingdom바카라 사이트™ (COMA, 1991) and 바카라 사이트˜Nutritional Aspects of Cardiovascular Disease바카라 사이트™ (COMA, 1994). You can access both reports on the COMA reports web page.

Since 1994, the evidence base on saturated fats and health has grown considerably. This report is based on a further assessment of this evidence.
