Pure Health Advocates High Fat Diet
PURE Health diet advocates high fat diet
A diet quality score based on the PURE study, which advocates eating more of seven key foods — fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, fish, dairy, and nonprocessed red meat — has been linked to lower mortality and cardiovascular events in three independent data sets. The researcher said, “You need nutrition beyond fruit and vegetables — dairy and red meats both have many nutrients not found in fruits and vegetables.”
The researchers also said the PURE diet had some controversial findings, including a decreasing mortality with increasing consumption of saturated fat and no association of cardiovascular disease with saturated fat; a maximum benefit on mortality of fruit/vegetables/legumes at three to four servings per day; and no clear benefit on cardiovascular disease of increasing consumption of fruits and vegetables.
