Specific evidence-based foods for hyperlipidemia and coronary heart disease:
Nut consumption, hyperlipidemia, and the risk of coronary events:
According to Fraser, GE research has shown that consumption of almond and walnuts, instead of more traditional fats, is linked to an 8% to 12% reduction in LDL cholesterol. Macadamias and hazelnuts have been shown to be at least as beneficial as fats in commonly recommended diets. Other studies have reported that frequent consumption of nuts were linked with a 30% to 50% decreased risk of coronary heart disease. Additionally, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet recommends regular consumption of nuts with seeds and dried beans (4-5 servings per week) as part of a diet to control hypertension.
