Fats, carbohydrates, and cardiovascular disease

[USN_Hokie]

Cohort study of 135k individuals from 5 continents published just last week.

"The science is settled...errr...wait"

Interpretation
High carbohydrate intake was associated with higher risk of total mortality, whereas total fat and individual types of fat were related to lower total mortality. Total fat and types of fat were not associated with cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, or cardiovascular disease mortality, whereas saturated fat had an inverse association with stroke. Global dietary guidelines should be reconsidered in light of these findings.

Essentially everything causes everything and everything causes nothing. It's all a function of the individuals DNA and genes.
