Extract

Diet related chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancers and diabetes are the main sources of morbidity and mortality in westernized societies, being responsible for approximately 64% of deaths in men and 73% of deaths of women within the EU (Peterson et al., 2005). The amount and composition of dietary fat is recognised as an important determinant of the initiation and progression of these chronic conditions.
