These societies that eat 30 percent of calories from fat have heart
disease rates about 30 percent lower than those that eat 40 percent
of calories from fat. But societies that eat diets characterized by
whole grains, vegetables, and fruits with, about 10 percent of
calories coming from fat, have heart disease rates that are at least
90 percent lower than the societies that eat about 40 percent
calories from fat. ... The pattern that exists for heart disease
exists also for the most common cancers. >>
