But even experts don’t agree on the best way to achieve that goal, with some recommending eliminating carbohydrates and others emphasizing reducing fats to lose weight. Few studies have investigated the effects of these specific macronutrients on cardiovascular health.

Using highly specific tests, the team found that all three diets reduced heart cell damage and inflammation, consistent with improved heart health. “It’s possible that macronutrients matter less than simply eating healthy foods,” said corresponding author [URL='https://connects.catalyst.harvard.edu/Profiles/display/Person/160550']Stephen Juraschek[/URL], HMS assistant professor of medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess and HMS.
