    a study by the Harvard T.T. Chan School of Public Health in the United States showed that the association of unsaturated fatty acids, which are often eaten from plants, was lower at all-cause risk of death.
    researchers analyzed data from two large-scale studies involving more than 93,000 people, with an average follow-up time span of more than 22 years. Based on dietary information, deaths, and causes of death, the researchers said in a summary of the paper, published in the latest issue of
    , that those who ate more unsaturated fatty acids from plant-based units had a 16 percent lower risk of death during follow-up than those who ate less fatty acids, and that the risk of dying from heart disease and other diseases was 24 to 26 percent lower if animal cell unsaturated fatty acids in the diet were replaced with plant-based cell unsaturated fatty acids. However, this is only an observational analysis that confirms the association and does not prove that plant-based unit unsaturated fatty acids reduce the risk of premature death."Our results emphasize the importance of the source and quality of cell unsaturated fatty acids in food, and we should consume more plant-based unsaturated fatty acids and eat less animal-based unsaturated fatty acids," Marta Guash-Ferrey, lead researcher on the
    research project, told Medical News Today. Foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids from plant-based units include alfal nuts, tree nuts, peanut butter, olive oil, sesame oil and other vegetable oils. (Source: Xinhua News Agency, Huang Min)
