Meta-analysis of SFA intake and heart disease

• If we consider single macronutrients,

we need to consider possible substitution/comparison.

• Mutivariate / ‘network’ meta-analysis in nutritional epidemiology: • Clarke et al., BMJ, 1997

• Johnson et al., JAMA, 2014

• Imamura et al., PLoS Med, 2016

Limitations in the Mediterranean diet (and other patterns)

• Not comprehensive

• No info on beverages • Sugar-sweetened drinks

• Coffee

• Tea

• No info on cooking methods • Fried or grilled fish

• Weak emphasis on subtypes… • Starchy vegetables or not

• Yoghurt, cheese, milk

• Grain products


Overall Diet

Foods

• “How efficacious/effective?”

• Generalisable?

• Comprehensive?

• Oily fish

• Rye breads

• Rapeseed oil

• Berries…

• What are the healthy/unhealthy components?

Healthy/Unhealthy diet Why?

Resveratrol

Trimethyl-amine oxide (TMAO)

Remarks

• Research on nutrients/foods help understand mechanisms and justify benefits/harm • Be careful about fit to a dietary pattern

• Research on dietary patterns has provided useful evidence • Comprehensive?

• Generalisable?

• Food culture, acceptability, affordabiilty
