The macronutrients
Article Abstract:
Diet risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) were determined by questionnaire and odds ratio among CHD-diagnosed, -undiagnosed and CHD-free men and women. The study population was composed of six percent diagnosed and 14.5% undiagnosed CHD cases. Results show that men were more likely to change their diet after diagnosis. The CHD risks for men found in the undiagnosed group characterize a low energy intake, high percentage of energy from protein and moderate percentage of energy from alcohol. Alcohol was the only modifying risk found in women.

The antioxidant vitamins and fibre
Article Abstract:
The role of antioxidant vitamins was evaluated in a study to determine risk factors that predispose to coronary heart disease (CHD). Diet was evaluated using questionnaire and odds ratio among CHD diagnosed, -undiagnosed and non-CHD controls. High quintiles of beta-carotene, fiber and vitamins C,E and A decrease risk of undiagnosed CHD in men while fiber was the only low risk factor in women. Risks to CHD were found to be reduced by increased intake of antioxidant vitamins and the cardio-protective properties of fiber apply to both men and women.

Antioxidant vitamin adequacy in relation to consumption of sugars
Article Abstract:
Experimental studies on several men and women between 25 and 64 years of age reveal a positive correlation between intake of intrinsic sugar and antioxidant vitamin adequacy, while milk sugar intake exhibits an inverse correlation with antioxidant vitamins. Low consumption of fruits and vegetables leads to the negative correlation, which is stronger for women. Factors such as alcohol consumption, smoking, weight, height and age do not influence this relationship.
