Description of intervention(s) / exposure
We conducted a randomized, crossover and longitudinal study in humans who were randomly assigned to receive during a period of one month each type of breakfast: 3 study periods (breakfast with the same composition [200 ml Semi skimmed milk+ 18 g of soluble coffee ( 1 monodose sachette)+8 g of sugar ( 1 monodose sachette)+ 2 toasts of bread white] plus 20 g of butter/margarine/olive oil in breakfast A/B/C respectively. Each study period is separated by one washout period (45-day). The composition of breakfast in washout period is: 200 ml Semi skimmed milk+ 18 g of soluble coffee ( 1 monodose sachette)+8 g of sugar ( 1 monodose sachette)+ 2 tosts of bread white +50 g of jam of peach + 200 ml of pineapple juice. This was an interventionist, longitudinal, randomized and crossover clinical trial where the participants consume each breakfast daily for a period of one month (30 days). Each participant consume each breakfast daily for a period of one month (30 days).The nutritional composition of breakfast and the other meals of the day was identical for all the volunteers, except the type of fat contributed in the breakfast each month.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 266657 0
% of participants with statistically significant change in the levels of total cholesterol in plasma. Total cholesterol was measured according to the colorimetric enzymatic method of cholesterol esterase , in which cholesterol esters are hydrolized to free cholesterol.

Analytical determinations: All blood extractions were performed in fasting conditions by puncture of the cubital vein. All the extractions (18 ml) were performed in the same conditions and samples were processed by the same staff (clinical biochemists), following the recommendations of the National for Committee Clinical Laboratory Standars and using the reference values of Roche Diagnostics GmbH.
Timepoint [1] 266657 0
The first and last day of each one of the three periods of breakfasts, in fasting conditions: before and after of the month with breakfast A; before and after of the month with breakfast B; before and after of the month with breakfast C.
Primary outcome [2] 266658 0
biomarkers of cardiovascular risk: BMI, arterial blood pressure and cardiac frecuency. BMI was estimated using the formula from levels of weight and height. Arterial blood pressure and cardiac frecuency were assessed with the automatic sphygmomanometer
Timepoint [2] 266658 0
The first and last day of each one of the three periods of breakfasts, in fasting conditions: before and after of the month with breakfast A; before and after of the month with breakfast B; before and after of the month with breakfast C.
Primary outcome [3] 266670 0
% of participants with statistically significant change in the levels of LDL cholesterol in plasma.LDL cholesterol concentration was estimated using the Friedewald, Levy and Fredrickson formula from levels of HDL cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglycerides (provided that levels of triglycerides is < 200 mg/dl), as follows:
LDL cholesterol (Friedewald) = Total Cholesterol (mg/dl) - HDL cholesterol (mg/dl) - [Triglycerides (mg/dl)/5]

The first and last day of each one of the three periods of breakfasts, in fasting conditions: before and after of the month with breakfast A; before and after of the month with breakfast B; before and after of the month with breakfast C.
Secondary outcome [1] 276148 0
% of participants with statistically significant change in the levels of HDL cholesterol in plasma. For quantifying cholesterol in HDL a homogeneous colorimetric enzymatic test was performed, in which dextran sulphate and magnesium ions selectively precipitate the LDL and VLDL fractions, leaving the HDL fraction in solution. HDL cholesterol is then determined photometrically using an enzymatic cholesterol assay (cholesterol esterase).

Secondary outcome [2] 276149 0
The nutritional valuation of the diet (energy, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates) using an suitable software (Dietsource v.3).
Timepoint [2] 276149 0
During the DAY 5, 15 AND 20 OF EACH MONTH of each period of nutritional intervention (3 x 3 = 9 questionnaires of each participant of the study)
Secondary outcome [3] 276161 0
% of participants with statistically significant change in the levels of Triglycerides in plasma.Triglycerides were measured in accordance with the colorimetric and enzymatic test of lipoprotein lipase, where glycerol set free is converted to glycerol-3phosphate by the action of glycerolkinase and it is oxidated to form hydrogen peroxide. This reacts with 4-aminoantipyrine producing a violet complex whose intensity of colour is proportional to the concentration of triglycerides in the sample.

Secondary outcome [4] 276162 0
% of participants with statistically significant change in the levels of Subfractions of LDL particles in plasma. The Subfractions of LDL particles in plasma were assessed with Gel electrophoresis technique.

Purpose of the study
Prevention
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The voluntary ones were obtained from feminine resident associations in Murcia and every voluntary one consumed three types of breakfast according to random order: the person who determined if a subject was eligible for inclusion in the trial was unaware, when this decision was made, to which group the subject would be allocated.Allocation was concealed and it was done by for sealed opaque envelopes
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Simple randomisation by using a randomisation table from a statistic book
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
