Saturated Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease: Replacements for Saturated Fat to Reduce Cardiovascular Risk

Abstract: Dietary recommendations to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) have focused on reducing intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA) for more than 50 years. While the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans advise substituting both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids for SFA, evidence supports other nutrient substitutions that will also reduce CVD risk. For example, replacing SFA with whole grains, but not refined carbohydrates, reduces CVD risk. Replacing SFA with protein, especially pla… Show more

“…A meta-analysis of Alexander et al [5], seems to indicate a protective action resulting from the consumption of cheese. This data is in line with Briggs et al [6]. Dairy products should probably be consumed as part of a balanced diet in which there is adequate intake of all nutrients within an appropriate calorie count [7][8][9][10].…”

“…The incidence of these diseases has increased dramatically in recent years, and they are currently the leading causes of death in industrialized countries . In many countries, public health and regulatory agencies have conducted campaigns to raise awareness about the risks of unhealthy diets, and health organizations have recommended lowering the consumption of SFA and increasing that of PUFA …”

“…This is consistent with the high intake of saturated fatty acids and the low intake of fiber, folate, and vitamin D reported in the dietary record. A high intake of saturated fatty acids increases the risk of CVD by increasing low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (Briggs, Petersen, & Kris‐Etherton, ), and 17 of 20 participants in the present study had an intake of saturated fatty acids above the recommended levels. Daily consumption of fiber has also been shown to reduce the risk of CVD (Estruch et al, ; Ho et al, ; Ho et al, ; Hollaender, Ross, & Kristensen, ; Wu et al, ), but only one participant consumed the recommended dietary fiber intake of 25–30 g/day.…”
