Dietary Cholesterol and Myocardial Infarction in the Million Veteran Program
We found that dietary cholesterol intake was linearly associated with greater risk of MI. These findings contribute to the growing literature highlighting the impact dietary cholesterol has on cardiovascular health. Reductions in cholesterol intake, which can be achieved by decreasing the intake of meat and eggs, may reduce the risk of incident MI.
