The facts behind the dietary fatty acids and heart disease controversy. 5. Experiments with human subjects to reduce blood cholesterol and coronary heart disease.
Abstract
Although in small-scale well-supervised experiments, significant reductions in blood cholesterol can be obtained by modest changes in the dietary fat composition, the results of large-scale community studies reveal that quite extreme diets are needed to achieve worthwhile cholesterol lowering. even then, the demostrable rewards in terms of reduction in non-fatal coronary events or CHD deaths are modest or non-existent and there is little evidence for any overall saving of lives.
