We all have been told over and over again that coronary heart disease is associated with diet.
However, although nutritional recommendations are frequently provided, actually few long term studies on the effect of food choices on heart disease are available. Until now that is.
Food Choices and Coronary Heart Disease: A Population Based Cohort Study of Rural Swedish Men with 12 Years of Follow-up found out that daily intake of fruit and vegetables was associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease when combined with a high dairy fat consumption, but not when combined with a low dairy fat consumption.
This simple scientific result could have quite astonishing consequences if people paid any attention to it.
Interestingly, choosing wholemeal bread or eating fish at least twice a week showed no association with the outcome.
So now I have a pretty good idea how to stay healthy - eat tons of fresh berries with whipped cream!
