" Alice H. Lichtenstein, senior scientist and director of Tufts University's Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory, told MUNCHIES: "The majority of the evidence, from both observational and intervention studies, supports the recommendation to replace saturated fat, that fat found in animal products, meat and dairy, with unsaturated fat, found in liquid plant oils such as soybean and canola oils.
|
|
On the other hand, as Dr. Sacks's team summarized the results of four "core" trials conducted in the 1960s, lowering saturated fat and replacing it with vegetable oil rich in polyunsaturated fat, primarily soybean oil free of trans fats, lowered coronary heart disease by 29 percent, similar to the benefit from taking a statin to reduce cholesterol.

Generally speaking, over-consuming protein, at levels higher than the RDA, (with protein powders and high meat and meat analog intake) is far too common, putting people at risk for a metabolic burden on the bones, kidneys, and liver, as well as an increased risk for coronary heart disease due to intake of saturated fat and cholesterol or even cancer.
|
|
But eating more than the recommended 10 percent of your daily calories from saturated fat has been associated with high cholesterol and weight gain, which could put people at increased risk of heart disease (note that the same does not apply for unsaturated fats like nuts, cooking oil, and fish, which have been found to reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease).
|
|
There's been some research that shows changing how the information is displayed can encourage more people to read the label, and in general negative messaging (like this is how much saturated fat is in this product) is more persuasive than positive messaging (like here's all the vitamin A in this product), which could bode well for the troublesome labels of climate change impact.

He has been a fixture on social media and on television programs in Britain, thanks in part to a series of controversial papers he published in medical journals arguing that saturated fat, especially from dairy, can be protective against heart disease, that sugar is "public health enemy No. 1" in the Western diet, and that the dangers of high cholesterol are overstated.
|

For example, a Mediterranean diet supplemented with at least 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil -- which contains 14% saturated fat -- or a handful of nuts each day achieved a significant 30% reduction in cardiovascular events in over 7,500 high-risk patients, noted Malhotra and his colleagues, referencing the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease with a Mediterranean Diet study, known as the PREDIMED study.
|
|
In addition, there seemed to be no significant effect on mortality or cardiovascular outcomes from other supplements, such as multivitamins, selenium, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin D alone, calcium alone, folic acid, and iron, or from dietary interventions such as the Mediterranean diet, reduced saturated fat intake, modified fat intake, reduced dietary fat intake, and increased intake of fish oil supplements.

|
For starters, eating nothing but animal protein that's high in saturated fat while ignoring vegetables and carbohydrates is not wise, Linda Van Horn, chief of nutrition in the department of preventive medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, tells CNBC Make It. Research suggests that eating two servings of red or processed meat a week is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death.
|
|
There is no evidence, however, that fructose is the sole, or even the main factor in the development of these diseases, nor that it is deleterious to everybody, and public health initiatives should therefore broadly focus on the promotion of healthy lifestyles generally, with restriction of both sugar and saturated fat intakes, and consumption of whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables rather than focusing exclusively on reduction of sugar intake.
|
|
The researchers described a Mediterranean diet as a diet that placed no restriction on fat intake and included two or more of seven components: High mono-unsaturated-to-saturated fat ratio, which can be the result of using olive oil as a main cooking ingredientHigh fruit and vegetable intakeHigh consumption of dark green leafy vegetablesHigh grain and cereal intakeModerate red wine consumptionModerate consumption of dairy productsLow consumption of red meat and meat products with an increased consumption of fish The analysis showed that even though such a diet may not affect overall mortality, it may be effective at reducing incidences of certain diseases.
