Abstract: | It is becoming increasingly evident that poor nutrition plays an important role in inducing cardiovascular disease. Just as importantly, data now support the contention that appropriate nutritional interventions may have just as important an effect in preventing or delaying the appearance of cardiovascular disease. If this is indeed true, then it is critical that these advances in our knowledge of the effects of nutritional interventions be translated into effective strategies to combat cardiovascular disease. It is argued in this paper, with a few specific examples, that the translation of nutritional interventions can provide powerful approaches to alleviating the clinical challenges currently facing us today in the cardiovascular field. Furthermore, the value-added economic advantages of translating nutritional strategies on a wide scale into the public become another intriguing argument to further support investigations in this growing field. |
