AB Epidemiologic data have shown that a Mediterranean diet that is low in saturated fat and high in polyunsaturated fats reduces low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lowers the risk of cardiovascular events. Yet, the clinical evidence of benefit with the components of these diets is mixed, and are reviewed in this article. Other topics include reshaping nutrition habits in clinical practice, as well as a review on epidemiological and clinical evidence of the negative impact of sugar-sweetened beverages on health.
