Summary Introduction

To determine:

The effect of the fat free diet on blood clotting.

Introduction:

The food items like green leafy vegetables, grain, and organ meats contain vitamin K, which is essential for the clotting of the blood. It is an essential cofactor for the activation of the blood group protein factors. The diet free of the fatty acids will inhibit the absorption of vitamin K, which is an important factor in blood clotting. It will delay the clotting of the blood, due to an injury as it inactivates the blood clotting factors in the human body.
