So lets start with what we do know.
Researchers in Norway and Italy wanted to drill down on what foods, exactly, can make a difference.
How Was This Review Conducted?
So this current study is a review of the reviews.
The researchers ended up with 41 systematic reviews and meta-analyses to evaluate for their umbrella review.
Most of them were conducted between 2016 and 2022.
When the studies were combined, there were more than 1 million participants for each food group.
So to more accurately evaluate intake of the foods, researchers had to standardize the serving sizes.
What Did This Review Find?
With that said, researchers did find some strong associations between certain food groups and longevity.
Interestingly, they found no clear association either way for dairy.
How Does This Apply to Real Life?
For that reason, researchers cannot give specific portion size recommendations based on their results.
