The Claim
The nutritional adequacy of the Swank diet, as measured by Mean Adequacy Ratio (MAR) for 17 vitamins and minerals, is ≥94% for both males and females aged 31–50 years, similar to the Healthy US-Style Eating Pattern (HEP), with both diets showing deficiencies in dietary fiber, potassium, and choline.
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.
The Swank diet provides almost all the vitamins and minerals people need, just like the standard healthy US diet, but both diets fall short on fiber, potassium, and choline.
