Hi Lynn - I think the reporters point was that a low fat diet was only ONE component of the study which resulted, however marginally, in a reversal of coronary plaque. The difference BTW, was easily attributable to statistical error. Dr. Eades discussed this at one time on his amazing blog.

Of course, Dr. Ornish shouts out from upon high that it was his low fat diet that did reversed the plaque. Of course, that's agenda talking and not a true scientist.

Fred -

Speaking of fat...I'm no scientist, but citing a 29 year old study that included a cessation of smoking to make a recommendation for a low-fat diet is preposterous.
