Golden Carrot Award – 2026 ASPC Congress on CVD Prevention

The inaugural ASPC Golden Carrot Award was presented to Ishita Vasudev for her outstanding nutrition-related abstract, S309 - Food as Pharmacology: Reversing the South Asian 'Lipid Triad' via a Millet and Legume-Based Paradigm (2000–2026) at the 2026 ASPC Congress on CVD Prevention in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Established by the Nutrition Working Group, the award recognized excellence in nutrition research and its contribution to cardiovascular disease prevention. Judging took place over the two days of poster presentations, with one winner selected each day and presented with a ribbon. The two daily winners then competed for the overall Golden Carrot Award, which was announced following the second day of poster presentations.

The judging panel included Drs. Martha Gulati and Robert Ostfeld.
