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.

This study found that eating a low-fat diet full of whole plants and healthy fats lowers heart disease risk by about 13%, but a low-fat diet full of junk food and sugar doesn’t help—and might even hurt. So it’s not just about eating less fat, but what you eat instead.
