Diet and heart disease

OK here is an interesting one. (It is epidemiology and as ever association doesn’t equal causality, but it is interesting….hypothesis forming as my scientist friends tell me)

A systematic review of the evidence supporting a causal link between dietary factors and coronary heart disease.

What is associated with heart disease?

  • intake of trans-fatty acids and foods with a high glycemic index or load

What isn’t:

  • total fat; alpha-linolenic acid; meat; eggs; and milk.

What is protective?

  • intake of vegetables, nuts, and “Mediterranean” and high-quality dietary patterns (whatever they are - I think lots of meat and few fruits is high quality!)

What isn’t:

  • supplementary vitamin E and ascorbic acid (vitamin C);

So it sounds like: meat, eggs, milk, low carb, veggies and nuts. Don’t worry about fat….don’t take supplements?
