The Claim
A dietary pattern characterized by high intake of fruits, vegetables, and lean animal proteins, with a balanced composition of saturated and monounsaturated fats, supports overall health and may contribute to increased longevity in humans.
What the research says
Challenges is higher
Challenge is ahead, but a single strong supporting study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating lots of fruits and veggies, some lean meats, and a good mix of healthy fats might help you feel better and live longer.
