Recent evidence suggests that replacing saturated fat with unsaturated fat is beneficial for cardiovascular health. This study compared the effects of Brazil nut oil (BNO) and soybean oil (SO) supplementation for 30 days on anthropometric, blood pressure, biochemical, and oxidative parameters in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). Thirty-one patients with MS were randomly allocated to receive 30 sachets with 10 mL each of either BNO ( n = 15) or SO ( n = 16) for daily supplementation. Variables were measured at the beginning of the study and after 30 days of intervention. No change in anthropometric and blood pressure variables were observed ( p &gt; 0.05). Total ( p = 0.0253) and low-density lipoprotein ( p = 0.0437) cholesterol increased in the SO group. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased ( p = 0.0087) and triglycerides increased ( p = 0.0045) in the BNO group. Malondialdehyde levels decreased in the BNO group ( p = 0.0296) and total antioxidant capacity improved in the SO group ( p = 0.0110). Although the addition of oils without lifestyle interventions did not affect anthropometric findings or blood pressure and promoted undesirable results in the lipid profile in both groups, daily supplementation of BNO for 30 days decreased lipid peroxidation, contributing to oxidative stress reduction.
