Abstract

Recognizing that physicians have changed their eating habits,1 such as reducing saturated fat in their diets,2 we offered more prudent food selections as part of a recent cardiology conference. Our goal was to provide options to those who choose to consume a diet consistent with the saturated fat and cholesterol recommendations of the National Cholesterol Education Program.3 This report demonstrates the ease of offering such options and presents the results of a survey assessing the acceptability and importance of such prudent foods to the physician attendees.
