A Comparison of Rats Fed an Evaporated Milk with Those Fed a “Milk” in Which the Naturally Occurring Fat has Been Replaced by Coconut Oil

Smith Freeman, A. C. Ivy

Abstract

Summary The growth of rats fed an evaporated milk was greater over a 97-day period than for a similar group of rats maintained on a “filled milk”in which the butterfat had been replaced by coconut oil. The percentage of bone ash and of liver fat is quite similar for the two groups of rats, both after 49 and 97 days on the diets. There were more volatile fatty acids deposited in the storage fat of the coconut oil group.
