Eating a low-fat diet full of whole plants like fruits, veggies, and whole grains may lower your chance of heart disease by 13% compared to eating a low-fat diet full of sugary snacks and processed foods.

Eating low-fat foods made from plants—like fruits, veggies, and whole grains—may lower your risk of heart disease by 13% compared to eating low-fat foods that are full of sugar and junk, because what kind of carbs and fats you eat matters more than just how much fat is in your food.

Eating low-fat foods that are mostly plants and good fats (like nuts and olive oil) instead of low-fat junk food (like sugary snacks and white bread) may lower your chance of heart disease by 13% — it’s not just about eating less fat, but what kind of fat and carbs you choose.

People who eat low-fat diets full of plants and whole grains are less likely to get heart disease than those who eat low-fat diets full of sugary snacks and processed foods, according to long-term studies of U.S. health workers.

People who eat low-carb diets full of plants and whole grains are less likely to get heart disease than those who eat low-carb diets full of junk food and meat, according to long-term studies of U.S. health workers.

If you're a health professional in the U.S. and you eat a low-carb diet full of plants, nuts, and whole foods instead of meat and sugary carbs, you're less likely to get heart disease — it’s not just about cutting carbs, but what you replace them with.
