The Claim
Higher intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids is associated with a 21% lower risk of all-cause mortality and a 34% lower risk of cardiovascular disease mortality in adults, based on data from a large prospective cohort study of over 100,000 individuals followed for 17 years, suggesting that diets rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids may contribute to improved cardiovascular health and increased longevity.
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 more healthy fats like those in fish, nuts, and seeds might help people live longer and lower their chances of dying from heart disease.
