Food protein, experimental design

The response of serum lipid patterns in healthy young men to the ingestion of HEAR oil and LEAR oil was studied in a series of four metabolic studies in the Department of Foods and Nutrition at the University of Manitoba. The subjects, who were either students or employees of the University, resided In their own homes and maintained their usual activity patterns but ate all their meals in the Department. The experimental diets in these studies were designed so dietary fat could be carefully controlled and yet the diets consist of familiar foods (Bruce and McDonald, 1977). Fat supplied about 38-40% of the total energy in the diets, with the specific fat being studied supplying about 95% of this total. The diets consisted of customary foods but contained no meat. Textured soybean protein, egg albumen, and skim milk were the main protein sources. Soy protein was incorporated into en-...
