The Claim
Greater consumption of foods typical of Western diets — including refined grains, sweets, sugared drinks, and deep-fried foods — is not significantly associated with major adverse cardiovascular events in high-risk patients with stable coronary heart disease, even after adjustment for demographic, clinical, and lifestyle factors.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing 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 typical Western junk food — like fries, soda, and sweets — doesn’t seem to make heart problems worse for people who already have stable heart disease, even when you account for things like age, smoking, and exercise.
