Adoption of a diet rich in alpha-linolenic acid could help reduce cardiovascular disease in Asian populations, especially among Asian people living in Western countries.
Pronounced benefits are shown in a two year study by Israeli and Indian clinicians of an Indo-Mediterranean diet among 1,000 patients with angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, or surrogate risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD). There was a marked decline in CAD morbidity and mortality.
