Kindly demonstrate ANY randomized INTERVENTIONAL trial data that shows fiber, vitamins, phytonutrients or antioxidants decrease MACE/Mortality... If fiber is so powerful or antioxidants, surely there is a trial that demonstrates merely ADDING it as INTERVENTION reduces events.

There are very few trials except in the least healthy populations that look at MACE/mortality, because these are relatively rare events. I'm not aware of any for low carb/keto, for example - many on HbA1c or weight ofc

I don’t claim that ketogenic diets are shown to decrease MACE. Yet the zealots say fiber and antioxidants and phytonutrients provide magic. The data just isn’t there. They have done RCTs no effect seen

I've yet to see anyone claim magic aside from the tabloids, but they claim magic for everything. I agree that there are no RCTs demonstrating the benefits in terms of MACE/ACM but that's a bit of a straw man because it's practically impossible to conduct one

They have done it! Vitamins, antioxidants, fiber has all been tested in randomized interventional trials with UNDERWHELMING performance.

Oh certainly, as individual supplements. Antioxidants in particular have been shown to be useless as supplements. The question of whole foods is less easy to answer, however
