Forbes Develops ‘Designer’ Cooking Oil

Biotechnology company Forbes Medi-Tech, Vancouver, Canada, has developed a cooking oil, which in a recently completed clinical trial was shown to help people lose weight and lower their cholesterol levels. In a clinical study conducted at McGill University in Montreal, 24 healthy men on a controlled diet incorporating Forbes’ “designer oil” showed a statistically significant decrease in total body weight tissue volumes in the range of 0.36 kg to 0.51 kg (0.8 lbs and 1.1 lbs) in 28 days. Study participants who received olive oil in their diet (control group) did not demonstrate any changes in body compartment volumes. In addition, consumption of designer oil resulted in a decrease of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations of 16%. Forbes’ designer oil (patent pending in the U.S. and worldwide) has demonstrated good sensory properties and oxidative stability and is suitable as a cooking oil. Currently, the company is in discussions with food companies in both North America and the Far East who have an interest in marketing its designer oil.
