Red meat and whole grains can either be incorporated or omitted from a nutritious diet without significant differences, according to a study recently published in the European Heart Journal, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). The research spanned 80 countries across every popu
A study spanning 80 countries, published in the European Heart Journal, found that diets high in fruit, vegetables, whole-fat dairy, nuts, legumes, and fish were linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and early death. The inclusion of unprocessed red meat or whole grains showed little effect on health outcomes. The research suggests that increasing consumption of protective foods, including whole-fat dairy, is more beneficial than focusing solely on reducing fat intake.
The study examined the relationships between a new diet score and health outcomes in a global population. A healthy diet score was created based on six foods that have each been linked with longevity. The PURE diet included 2-3 servings of fruit per day, 2-3 servings of vegetables per day, 3-4 servings of legumes per week, 7 servings of nuts per week, 2-3 servings of fish per week, and 14 servings of dairy products per week.
The average diet score was 2.95. During a median follow-up of 9.3 years, there were 15,707 deaths and 40,764 cardiovascular events. Compared with the least healthy diet , the healthiest diet was linked with a 30% lower risk of death, 18% lower likelihood of CVD, 14% lower risk of myocardial infarction and 19% lower risk of stroke. Associations between the healthy diet score and outcomes were confirmed in five independent studies including a total of 96,955 patients with CVD in 70 countries.
