The Claim
The Alternate Healthy Eating Index-2010 scores for Swank diet menus range from 88 to 90 out of 110 for females and males aged 31–50 years, which is similar to the Healthy US-Style Eating Pattern, indicating comparable predicted chronic disease risk reduction potential based on dietary patterns.
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.
This means that the Swank diet is rated almost as healthy as a standard healthy American diet for adults in their 30s to 50s, and both diets are expected to lower the risk of long-term illnesses about the same amount.

The Alternate Healthy Eating Index-2010 scores for Swank diet menus are 88–90 out of 110 for females and males aged 31–50 years, similar to the Healthy US-Style Eating Pattern (HEP), indicating comparable predicted chronic disease risk reduction potential based on dietary patterns.
What the research says
1 studyThe study looked at the Swank diet and found its healthy eating scores were similar to a standard healthy diet, just like the claim says, so it supports the idea that both diets might reduce chronic disease risk about the same.
