Abstract
The purpose of this article is to help implement the recommendation of the American Heart Association concerning "reasonable substitution of polyunsaturated for saturated fats" as a "possible means of preventing atherosclerosis and decreasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes."

Instructions for the use of the Prudent Diet and the Prudent Reducing Diet as used in the Diet and Coronary Heart Disease Study Project are included as well as the effects of these diets on the serum cholesterol levels of free-living men 50-59 years old.
