Hornstra G, Grooten HNA, Van Binsbergen JJ. Van verzadigd naar onverzadigd vet. Huisarts Wet 2012;55(2):64–7.

Wat is de rol van voeding bij de selectieve en zorggerelateerde preventie van hart- en vaatziekten en diabetes mellitus type 2? Welke rol spelen de verschillende vetten daarbij? Het advies van de Gezondheidsraad luidt vooral om minder verzadigde vetten te eten. Uit de wetenschappelijke literatuur blijkt echter dat extra gezondheidswinst mogelijk is als men verzadigde vetten in de voeding vervangt door onverzadigde vetten. In dit artikel gaan we dieper in op de wetenschappelijke achtergronden van deze opvatting. Bij een normaal lichaamsgewicht is de vetkwaliteit van de voeding belangrijker dan de vetkwantiteit.

Abstract

Hornstra G, Grooten HNA, Van Binsbergen JJ. From saturated to unsaturated fat. Huisarts Wet 2012;55(2):64–7.

What is the role of diet in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus type 2? And what is the role of the different types of fat? The Health Council of the Netherlands advises eating less saturated fat, but the scientific literature suggests that an additional health benefit can be achieved if people replace saturated fat in their diet with unsaturated fat. In this article, we go into the scientific basis for this. In normal-weight individuals, it is the quality rather than the quantity of dietary fat that is important.
