Abstract
Because few trials have studied the antioxidant effects of diets rather than vitamin supplements, the results of a recent trial that altered fruit, vegetable, and fat intake in healthy adults are especially valuable. The findings support the hypothesis that changing dietary patterns may decrease the risk of atherosclerosis by favorably altering the balance of oxidant defense and damage.Keywords
