Findings that rest on exhibits naming this entity

  • AGR-2.14: A 2020 Cochrane review of 15 randomized trials (56,675 participants) found that reducing saturated fat lowered combined cardiovascular events (RR 0.83, 95% CI 0.70-0.98) with little or no effect on all-cause or cardiovascular mortality. A 2017 American Heart Association advisory concluded that replacing saturated fat with mostly refined carbohydrates and sugars is not associated with lower rates of cardiovascular disease.
