Abstract
The high-fat American diet is responsible for an epidemic of coronary arter y disease. A plant-based diet with less than 10% fat will prevent coronary disease from developing, halt the progress of existing disease, and even re verse the disease in many patients. Given proper support and education, mot ivated patients with a history of coronary disease can follow this diet and prevent future cardiac events.
