The results of the large Spanish study known as PREDIMED were so dramatic. The group receiving the olive oil had about a one-third lower incidence (31%) of stroke, heart attack, and death than the low-fat group, and the mixed-nuts group showed a similar reduced risk (28%). By the numbers, the nuts-or-olive-oil "Mediterranean" diet appeared to be as powerful as statins, in terms of number needed to treat (NNT), for primary prevention of heart disease-meaning a population that had not yet experienced an "event" or a clinical diagnosis. [2023] - Peter Attia

Beans, green vegetables, seeds, and some fruits are high in soluble fiber. Soluble fiber supplies a gelatinous-like material in the bowel. It is not absorbed and does not give us calories. Soluble fiber is very important, as it slows the absorption of glucose and helps lower cholesterol. Beans are especially high in soluble fiber. Black beans, for instance, contain the highest amount of total dietary fiber at 43 percent, and 63 percent of their total starch content is resistant starch. The resistant starch found in beans powerfully reduces hunger and, thus, food consumption over many hours. [2013] - Joel Fuhrman
