Increased dietary exposure to antioxidants may lower an individual's risk of developing hyperlipidemia.
This study focused on the effect of eating antioxidant-containing foods on blood levels of fatty acids. Researchers examined the food choices and measured the plasma concentrations of fatty acids in 27,626 men and women.
Researchers found high blood lipid levels (hyperlipidemia) among frequent eaters of foods loaded with antioxidants. "Therefore increase antioxidant rich foods in your life as a prevention of hyperlipidemia," the authors recommended.
