Abstract in brief

  • Replacing saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats can lower LDL cholesterol and improve heart health, while replacing saturated fats with refined carbohydrates may increase triglycerides and small LDL particles, raising cardiovascular risk.
  • The relationship between saturated fat intake and risk of coronary heart disease is complex and depends on what nutrients are used as replacements; evidence suggests that polyunsaturated fats are beneficial, whereas refined carbs are not.
  • Based on current research, dietary guidelines should focus on substituting saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats and minimally processed grains to reduce the risk of heart disease.]

@jnutritionorg Siri-Tarino and Kraus also found that high SFA intake was associated with fatal CHD (https://t.co/urPBMFuTCb) – while their first 2010 MA combined non-fatal and fatal events.
