In a new scientific statement, leading experts in nutrition ranked 10 popular diets on their ability to meet the AHA's evidence-based dietary guidance for heart health, published in 2021.
. DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension; high blood pressure is a major contributor to heart disease and stroke.
Research has linked the Mediterranean diet to reduced risk for diabetes, high cholesterol, dementia, memory loss, depression and breast cancer as well as weight loss, stronger bones, a healthier heart and longer life. Very low-carb diets, such as Atkins, and various keto diets, such as the well-formulated ketogenic diet, or WFKD, were in the bottom tier of heart-healthy eating patterns, due to their emphasis on red meat, whole dairy and saturated fats, as well as limited fruit and vegetable intake.
"It's a cheat sheet for doctors," Gardner said. "When they do ask about diet — which I don't think is all that often — and a patient says, 'Oh, yeah, I'm paleo. I'm vegan. I'm keto or I'm DASH,' I don't think they really know what that means." Yet patients need their doctors to be discussing nutrition with them during regular checkups, Freeman added.
