The Claim
In postmenopausal women, lower intakes of saturated or trans fat or higher intakes of vegetables and fruits are associated with trends toward greater reductions in coronary heart disease risk, although these trends do not reach statistical significance.
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.
Women after menopause who eat less bad fats and more veggies and fruits might have a lower risk of heart disease, but the data isn’t strong enough to say for sure.
See the scientific wording
Trends toward greater reductions in coronary heart disease risk were observed in postmenopausal women with lower intakes of saturated or trans fat or higher intakes of vegetables and fruits, but these trends were not statistically significant.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Low-Fat Dietary Pattern and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
The study found that women who ate fewer bad fats and more veggies and fruits tended to have less heart disease, but the difference wasn’t big enough to be certain — just like the claim says.
