This is a landmark trial of nutritional intervention for primary cardiovascular prevention. Nearly 7500 individuals at high risk were randomized to two Mediterranean diets, supplemented with either extra-virgin olive oil or mixed nuts, versus advice on a low-fat diet. After intervention for 5 years, there was a 30% reduction in CVD events in the two Mediterranean diet groups.
