Primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases by {alpha}-linolenic acid

Dominique Lanzmann-Petithory, Sophie Pueyo, and Serge Renaud

Am J Clin Nutr 2002;76 1456

>>>>>Even if Bemelmans et al’s conclusions on the similarity of the effects of

ALA and LA are misleading, their

preliminary results on cardiovascular events seem to be consistent with those of

recent work. In addition to

intervention trials (2, 5), prospective studies have also shown protective

effects of ALA on nonfatal (6, 7) and fatal

(8) cardiovascular events, independent of other dietary or nondietary factors,

as reviewed recently (9).

Book Reviews

Food Politics--How the Food Industry Influences Nutrition and Health, by

n Nestle, 2002, 469 pages, softcover, $29.95. University of California

Press, Los Angeles.

A Truswell

Am J Clin Nutr 2002;76 1458

>>>>>>>>>Food Politics is a book that deserves to change national and

international attitudes, as Carson’s Silent Spring did

in the 1960s. It is a study of how powerful agribusiness and food companies

distort our scientific concepts of

healthy eating and drinking, in the process paying congresspersons, co-opting

nutritionists, and wrecking the Food

and Drug Administration (FDA). The public nutrition system is seriously out of

balance.
