A new study from United Kingdom calculated the effect on CVD by replacing an unhealthy snack like crisps, chocolate bars, cakes and pastries with fresh fruit, dried fruit, unsalted nuts or seeds. The intake of saturated fat would fall by 4.4 g per day, resulting in approximately 2400 fewer CHD deaths and 425 fewer stroke deaths per year. The associated 500 mg decrease in salt intake would result in approximately 1790 fewer CHD deaths and 1330 fewer stroke deaths. Amasing conclusion: Simply replacing one unhealthy snack with one healthy snack per day might prevent approximately 6000 cardiovascular deaths every year in the UK.
