<p>Study findings:</p>
<p>PURE researchers collected self-reported dietary data from <strong>135,335 people in 18 countries</strong>, and grouped them according to the amount of carbohydrate, fat, and protein they consumed. After tracking participants’ health over a <strong>seven year period,</strong> researchers found that those with the highest intake of dietary <strong>fat (35% of daily calories) were 23% less likely to have died than those with the lowest intake of fat (10% of daily calories). </strong>Oppositely, for carbohydrates, those with the highest intake (77% of daily calories) were 28% more likely to have died than those with the lowest intake (46% of daily calories). [1] From these findings the authors’ main conclusion is that “<em>high carbohydrate intake was associated with higher risk of total mortality, whereas total fat and individual types of fat were related to lower total mortality</em>.”</p>
