(pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
TLDR - Fat is good for you, sugar/carbs not so much
Full paper can be found here
Higher carbohydrate intake was associated with an increased risk of total mortality
Intake of total fat and each type of fat was associated with lower risk of total mortality
Higher saturated fat intake was associated with lower risk of stroke
Total fat and saturated and unsaturated fats were not significantly associated with risk of myocardial infarction or cardiovascular disease mortality.
Global dietary guidelines should be reconsidered in light of these findings.
