Higher saturated fat intake was also associated with lower obesity, hypertension and diabetes.<\/p>\n<p>- The women in the lowest carbohydrate intake group were the least healthy in a number of important ways, which are connected to CVD and mortality. These differences should have been adjusted for, but the raw vs adjustment data raised alarm bells.<\/p>\n<p>- As with all nutritional epidemiology, this study had many limitations. We should no more value a study that finds nothing against saturated fat than we should value a study that finds against saturated fat. We should no more value a study that finds little in favour of carbohydrate than we should value a study that finds much in favour of carbohydrate.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"mepr-unauthorized-message\">\n    <p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h4>Please login below or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/sign-up\/\">sign up<\/a> to access the rest of this article.<\/h4>\n<p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/membership\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/DHT-benefits.png\"><\/a><br \/>\n<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"mepr-login-form-wrap\">\n      \n<div class=\"mp_wrapper mp_login_form\">\n          <!-- mp-login-form-start -->     <form name=\"mepr_loginform\" id=\"mepr_loginform\" class=\"mepr-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/login\/\" method=\"post\">\n            <div class=\"mp-form-row mepr_username\">\n        <div class=\"mp-form-label\">\n                              <label for=\"user_login\">Username<\/label>\n                  <\/div>\n        <input type=\"text\" name=\"log\" id=\"user_login\" value=\"\" \/>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"mp-form-row mepr_password\">\n        <div class=\"mp-form-label\">\n          <label for=\"user_pass\">Password<\/label>\n                    <div class=\"mp-hide-pw\">\n            <input type=\"password\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"user_pass\" value=\"\" \/>\n            <button type=\"button\" class=\"button mp-hide-pw hide-if-no-js\" data-toggle=\"0\" aria-label=\"Show password\">\n              <span class=\"dashicons dashicons-visibility\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n            <\/button>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n            <div>\n        <label><input name=\"rememberme\" type=\"checkbox\" id=\"rememberme\" value=\"forever\" \/> Remember Me<\/label>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"mp-spacer\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n      <div class=\"submit\">\n        <input type=\"submit\" name=\"wp-submit\" id=\"wp-submit\" class=\"button-primary mepr-share-button \" value=\"Log In\" \/>\n        <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"redirect_to\" value=\"\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5998\" \/>\n        <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"mepr_process_login_form\" value=\"true\" \/>\n        <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"mepr_is_login_page\" value=\"false\" \/>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/form>\n    <div class=\"mp-spacer\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n    <div class=\"mepr-login-actions\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/login\/?action=forgot_password\">Forgot Password<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- mp-login-form-end --> \n  <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary &#8211; A study of approximately 10,000 middle-aged Australian women examined the association between carbohydrate and saturated fat intake with<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":5999,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[74,75],"tags":[18,449],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5998"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5998"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5998\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6000,"href":"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5998\/revisions\/6000"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5999"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5998"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dietandhealthtoday.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
