flag Whole, unprocessed foods lower heart disease risk regardless of carb or fat content, study finds.

flag A new study of nearly 200,000 U.S. health professionals over 30 years finds that the quality of low-carb and low-fat diets, not just their macronutrient content, determines heart disease risk. flag Diets rich in whole grains, plant-based foods, and unsaturated fats were linked to lower coronary heart disease rates, better cholesterol, and reduced inflammation, while those high in processed foods, red meat, and refined carbs increased risk. flag The findings suggest focusing on whole, minimally processed foods—regardless of carb or fat levels—is key for heart health.
