Low-carb and low-fat diets associated with lower heart disease risk if rich in high-quality, plant-based foods, low in animal products | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health

A new Harvard Chan School study shows it’s the quality—not quantity—of macronutrients that make a difference for heart health, debunking myth that modulating carbohydrate and fat intake alone is inherently beneficial.

      high-quality, plant-based foods, low in animal products

      solid yellowfin packed in EVOO topped with tony chachere’s creole seasoning = better than anything you’ll get for $15 at a burger joint

        The tuna in EVOO you buy at the supermarket here is lame. If you look at the ingredients it’s just cheap vegetable oil with a dash of EVOO, and you can bet it’s not the good EVOO.

          i mean i wouldn’t debate about “not the good EVOO,” but…

          edit: looking at your instance now, i guess you’re in aus? that sucks they’re mixing yours with bullshit oil

            you’re right, it’s bullshit marketing and it sucks. The front of the tin does say “tuna in olive oil blend”, in fairness. All the other brands are the same / similar.

            If it was real, pure olive oil it would cost more.

            I just buy the stuff packed in spring water, drain it, and pour olive oil over it.

              Unless it says extra virgin olive oil, the olive oil itself might even be highly processed.

              To be designated as extra-virgin, no heat or chemicals can be used during the extraction process or at any other stage of getting it into the bottle

                Yeah, there’s a lot to good EVOO.

                Here i wouldnt really trust anything I can get from the supermarket, and certainly not anything imported.

                The health benefits diminish significantly over time.

                So the “best before” date might be 2 years, but if you want the health benefits then every month counts. Also the time spent in contact with air.

              the best way to do it, since even if you drain the oil tuna, you’ll still be consuming a non-zero amount of crap ultraprocessed shit oil
