title: Primary prevention of atherosclerosis: nutritional aspects.
abstract: The changes suggested for reducing consumption of calories, cholesterol, and sodium are not radical but sensible. These modifications are nutritionally sound suggestions which will lead to the development of good dietary habits which may be continued throughout life. Hopefully, this will prevent the child from entering adulthood with habits inappropriate for longevity and subsequently having to face the extremely difficult task of changing well-established habits.
