TL;DR
It is suggested that replacing saturated and trans unsaturated fats with unhydrogenated monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats is more effective in preventing coronary heart disease in women than reducing overall fat intake.
Abstract
Our findings suggest that replacing saturated and trans unsaturated fats with unhydrogenated monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats is more effective in preventing coronary heart disease in women than reducing overall fat intake.

All fatty acids elevated HDL cholesterol when substituted for carbohydrates, but the effect diminished with increasing unsaturation of the fatty acids, and that for monounsaturates was not.

Intakes of foods that are major sources of trans isomers (margarine, cookies [biscuits], cake, and white bread) were each significantly associated with higher risks of CHD, supporting the hypothesis that consumption of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils may contribute to occurrence ofCHD.

The data do not support the strong association between intake of saturated fat and risk of coronary heart disease suggested by international comparisons, but they are compatible with the hypotheses that saturatedfat and cholesterol intakes affect the risk of heart disease as predicted by their effects on blood cholesterol concentration.

The U-shape for total mortality in men and the flat relation in women resulted largely from a positive relation of TC with coronary heart disease death and an inverse relation with deaths caused by some cancers, which decreased steadily across the range of TC.

Results suggest additional areas for research, but none of them would lead to an alteration of currently recommended preventive diets that emphasize lowering fat intake, because in isocaloric diets the logical way to balance a decreased fat intake is to increase the consumption of foods containing starch.

Investigation of the distributions of fatty acids in subcutaneous-adipose-tissue aspirates and their relation to intake as assessed by a semiquantitative food-frequency questionnaire suggest that intakes of polyunsaturated fatty acids, including n-3 fatty acid, and trans fatty acids are reflected in the adipose tissue but that intake of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acid are not.

The results reflect considerable differences between countries in dietary intake of trans fatty acids but do not suggest a major overall effect of C18:1 trans fatty fatty acids on risk of AMI, although it cannot exclude the possibility that trans fatty acid have a significant impact on riskof AMI in populations with high intake.

The combined results of metabolic and epidemiological studies provide strong evidence that trans fatty acid intake is causally related to risk of coronary disease and federal regulations should require manufacturers to include trans fatty acids content in food labels and should aim to greatly reduce or eliminate the use of partially hydrogenated vegetable fats.

Dietary intervention for the prevention of CHD in younger men is supported by these findings, suggesting that their effects are at least partially independent of other established risk factors.

Overall, there was no evidence of a relation between trans isomers of oleic and linoleic acids combined and sudden cardiac death, and smoking was the only factor that remained independently associated with risk ofudden cardiac death.
