Consuming fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fish and whole-fat dairy products is key to lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes. The study also found that a healthy diet can be achieved in various ways, such as including moderate amounts of whole grains or unprocessed meats.

The World Health Organization estimates ~18 million people died from cardiovascular disease in 2019, representing 32% of all global deaths. Of these deaths, 85% were due to heart attacks and strokes. Population Research Health Institute researchers and their global collaborators analyzed data from 245,000 people in 80 countries from multiple studies.

We can't edit other people's titles and this is a good article, but I wanted to don my mod hat for a second to mention that this title is sensationalized, and we would appreciate it if you leave the original article title in tact in the future.

Thank you for actually caring about this. Many articles from /r/Science had the same issue and mods would simply delete my comments when I brought it up even though it's explicitly against the rules.
