Currently, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death globally. As many as 80% of chronic diseases can be appeased by a healthy diet, live without cigarettes, maintain weight, and exercise regularly.
In a healthy diet, focusing on single nutrients is easy. This helps us in preventing nutrient deficiency (for example, vitamin C and skorbut).
But that way is not powerful enough as a strategy to avoid chronic illness. When talking about fat, which we must consider is the diet.
Fat and cardiovascular disease
There have been many studies on the relationship of saturated fats (contained in butter, chicken skin, livestock products, etc.) to the heart. But the results are often contrary to one another. Some say, saturated fat has nothing to do with CVD. But this study does not take into account what nutrients are replacing saturated fats.
