Although successful efforts have been greatly exerted to prevent
and treat cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), it currently causes the
most number of global deaths among all kinds of diseases. This book
has comprehensively reviewed dietary risk factors for CVDs. There
are several approved dietary risk factors for CVDs in our daily
diets and foods. The dietary risk factors include toxicities caused
by an over-consumption of cholesterol, energy, saturated fatty
acids, saccharides (especially fructose), iron, sodium, alcohol,
niacin, homocysteine, alkaloids (such as synephrines, caffeine,
tyramine, dopamine, histamine, and cyanide), nucleic acids and
trans-fatty acids. Other extensive factors include the metabolites
of choline-containing compounds or L-carnitine, and environmental
contaminants such as mercury and cadmium; the deficiencies of
folate and vitamins D, B6, or B12; the toxicity or deficiency of
magnesium; and the consumption of sweetened soft drinks.
Underweight, or even normal weight individuals might not decrease
the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases because the deficiency of
some nutrients, and alkaloids in the above mentioned chapters that
are able to control weight could also damage the cardiovascular
system. It seems that the association of all these risk factors in
blood with CVDs has been well established, though some
controversial opinions on some risk factors exist. Therefore, it
should be worth carrying out further studies on the correlation of
these risk factors in foods with the occurrence of CVDs.
