Description
Nicholas Koemel and nine co-authors study how the mix of fat, protein, and carbohydrate in the diet tracks with heart and metabolic health, in a 2024 paper. Most past work looked at one nutrient at a time.
The team used national survey data from 1999 to 2014, covering 33,681 adults in the United States. Diet came from day-long food recalls; health measures came from clinic exams. In women, blood fats looked worst on low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets. In men, one blood fat rose with dietary fat, and total cholesterol peaked at a specific mix of the three nutrients. Blood pressure in both sexes was highest on low-fat diets with moderate protein. The findings argue for judging diets as mixes, not single nutrients.
