What are Some Key Findings in Nutritional Epidemiology?
Several important findings have emerged from nutritional epidemiology research, including:
1. Dietary Fats and Heart Disease: Studies have shown that trans fats increase the risk of heart disease, while unsaturated fats, such as those found in olive oil and fish, are protective. 2. Fruits and Vegetables: High consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower risk of various chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers. 3. Whole Grains: Whole grains are linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
