"High carbohydrate intake was associated with higher risk of total mortality, whereas total fat and individual types of fat were related to lower total mortality. Total fat and types of fat were not associated with cardiovascular disease, myocardial infarction, or cardiovascular disease mortality, whereas saturated fat had an inverse association with stroke. Global dietary guidelines should be reconsidered in light of these findings."

"our FFQ [food questionnaire] assessed polyunsaturated fatty acid intake mainly from foods, rather than from vegetable oils, which might have different health effects than those observed in our study."
The same study published another paper in the same issue of the Lancet: "Fruit, vegetable, and legume intake, and cardiovascular disease and deaths in 18 countries (PURE): a prospective cohort study. This paper shows >= 8 servings a day of fruits, vegetables (uncooked veggies are better than cooked), and legumes reduce relative all-cause mortality rate from 1.00 for no fruit, veggies, & legumes to 0.58. For heart disease, uncooked vegetables are best.
