Experimental. population, and intervention studies that have established the compelling link between diet and cardiovascular disease are reviewed. The effect of saturated fat, dietary cholesterol, and polyunsaturated fats including the n-3 fatty acids are discussed. Also, fiber and alcohol relationships with lipids and coronary disease are described. Finally, the NCEP guidelines are given with practical suggestions for their implementation.
