The overall pooled risk reduction was 19% (RR = 0.81), corresponding to 10% reduced CHD risk (RR = 0.90) for each 5% energy of increased PUFA.
These findings provide evidence that consuming PUFA in place of SFA reduces CHD events in RCTs. This suggests that rather than trying to lower PUFA consumption, a shift toward greater population PUFA consumption in place of SFA would significantly reduce rates of CHD.
