Still, the healthier food components of SEAD may predominate over the less healthy ones, as increased adherence to the SEAD has been associated with healthier gut microbiota, reduced levels of several cardiovascular risk factors (C-reactive protein, triglycerides, insulin, insulin resistance, pulse wave velocity, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, body mass index [BMI], and waist circumference), and decreased risk of myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality [3, 13–21]. This evidence concerns the gene INS and myocardial infarction.
