Abstract/Notes Synopsis: This was a systematic review of literature regarding dietary factors and coronary heart disease (CHD). The research team conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE for prospective cohort studies or randomized trials investigating dietary exposures in relation to CHD. They used the Bradford Hill guidelines* to derive a causation score based on 4 criteria (strength, consistency, temporality, and coherence) for each dietary exposure in the cohort studies and examined these for consistency with the findings of randomized trials. Strong evidence supports valid associations (4 criteria satisfied) of protective factors, including intake of vegetables, nuts, and Mediterranean dietary patterns with CHD, and associations of harmful factors, including intake of trans-fatty acids and foods with a high glycemic index or load.
