Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand the role of a dietary oil to alter chronic disease risk factors in women who are at risk for heart disease and/or diabetes. The investigator's previous study showed that safflower oil reduced trunk fat mass in women with diabetes. The investigators believe safflower oil can also attenuate criteria of metabolic syndrome through reduction in trunk fat mass.
