Phytosterol intake and risk of coronary artery disease: Results from 3 prospective cohort studies
Optimal consumption of phytosterol-rich foods may help thwart the development of coronary artery disease (CAD).
This study assessed the potential role of dietary intake of phytosterol regarding coronary artery disease (CAD) risk in men and women. Researchers surveyed the diets and health of 213,992 US men and women. During the course of the study, a total of 8,725 participants was diagnosed with coronary artery disease.
Researchers found out that regular ingestion of foods loaded with phytosterol brightened an individual's chances of avoiding coronary artery disease. This study adds to the evidence that consuming diets high in phytosterol may help reduce the risk of coronary artery disease in men and women.
