Is Almond Consumption More Effective Than Reduced Dietary Saturated Fat at Decreasing Plasma Total Cholesterol and LDL-c Levels? A Theoretical Approach
Figure 1
Correlation between mean relative almond intake (RAI) and (a) percent change in mean plasma total cholesterol (pTC) and (b) percent change in mean plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (pLDL-c). Correlations were considered significant at . Open circle: Jenkins et al. [18] (control diet); plus sign: Spiller et al. [20]; “X”: Abbey et al. [12]; diamond: Spiller et al. [22]; cross-thru “X”: Hyson et al. [15]; gray triangle: Sabaté et al. [19] (low-almond diet); black triangle: Sabaté et al. [19] [high-almond diet]; gray square: Spiller et al. [21] (roasted-almond diet); black square: Spiller et al. [21] (raw-almond diet); gray circle: Jenkins et al. [18] [half-almond diet]; black circle: Jenkins et al. [18] (full-almond diet).
