Objective The purpose of this study was to compare two enteral formulas, differing only in fat source, for product acceptance, tolerance, and effect on fat malabsorption and nutritional status in subjects with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Design The double-blind, randomized 15-day tri...
