A recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology suggests that focusing solely on low-carb or low-fat diets may not effectively reduce heart disease risk. Harvard researchers analysed data from around 200,000 health professionals over 30 years and found that consuming unhealthy refined carbs can increase heart disease risk by 14%, while healthy carbs like whole grains can lower the risk by 15%. The study emphasises that the quality of the diet is more important than merely cutting carbs or fats. Although it was an observational study and causation could not be directly established, the extensive follow-up period lends credibility to the findings.
