The evidence-based Mediterranean diet reduces coronary heart disease risk, and plant-derived monounsaturated fats may reduce coronary heart disease risk.

摘要

In the May 2009 issue of the Journal, an article by Jakobsen et al (1) contributes to the literature by analyzing dietary fat and the associated risk of coronary disease by using a pooled analysis of 11 studies. The editorial (2) accompanying this article suggests that the data presented in the article ‘‘raise some concern about advice to eat a Mediterranean diet.’’ The editorial also appears to suggest that advice to follow the Mediterranean diet does not represent ‘‘evidence-based medicine.’’
