A recent study in Nature Medicine reveals that replacing saturated fats with unsaturated oils from olives and nuts may lower the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Switching from saturated animal-derived fats like dairy butter to unsaturated oils from olives and nuts may significantly improve heart health, according to a recent study published in Nature Medicine. Conducted by scientists from various global institutions, including senior author Clemens Wittenbecher from Chalmers University of Technology, the research suggests that such dietary changes can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. This conclusion stems from detailed lipidomics analysis of fats in the blood, cross-referencing new dietary intervention studies with long-term cohort studies.
