AB Dietary  choices  impact  disease.  In  the  outpatient  setting,  dietary  choices  influence  our  risk  for  heart  disease,  cancers,  obesity,  diabetes,  and  stroke1,2;  poor  dietary  choices  increase  the  chance  for  developing  these  chronic  and  acute  conditions,  many  of  which  are  among  the  leading  causes  of  morbidity  and  mortality  in  the  United  States  and  the  world.3,4  Five  of  the  10  leading  causes  of  death  in  the  United  States  are  directly  associated  with  dietary  factors  (heart  disease,  cancer,  stroke,  diabetes,  and  atherosclerosis).5  And  dietary  interventions  can  be  a  primary  treatment  for  these  conditions,  with  outcomes  equivalent  to  or  better  than  drug  therapy.6
