Opening Session & Presidential Symposium: Food as Medicine: New Findings to Explain Reduced Risk of Cardiovascular Disease by Dietary Linoleic Acid

Saturday, July 22, 2023
4:30 PM – 6:00 PM ET
Location: Grand Ballroom

CPE for RDs CME

Learning Objectives

At the end of this activity, learners will be able to:
  • Describe what observational studies and biomarker analysis have inferred about dietary intake of linoleic acid and CVD risk
  • Explain findings from clinical trials on linoleic acid intake and CVD risk factors
  • Describe potential cellular mechanisms involving mitochondria that may explain how linoleic acid influences heart health
