Animal nutrition studies are valuable because, unlike in human studies, we can know exactly what and how much was consumed. Such studies are especially valuable when assessing the effects of long-term consumption because human long-term studies must rely on self-report, which may not be accurate (1-3). In recent years, study has turned to diet patterns rather than individual diet constituents, with the recognition that multiple nutrients interact to affect health. To study diet patterns in a controlled experiment, dietary constituents must be presented in such a way that the study participants cannot pick and choose among the diet components. Thus, they are typically mixed together in preclinical nutrition experiments, as in this experiment (6).The ingredients of both diets were human grade and routinely used in food produced for human consumption (save the vitamin and mineral mix, which is expressly made to complete macaque nutrition)(6). Highquality, food-grade extra-virgin olive oil was used along with walnuts in order to parallel dietary variables used in the Prevention with Mediterranean Diet (PREDIMED) study (4). The walnuts were obtained from a walnut company that produces walnuts for human consumption, including ground walnuts that can be mixed uniformly with other ingredients
