I mean, I understand what would the difference be in traffic accidents, but what the difference would be in CVD...

Pretty much the same thing. Let’s imagine that one out of a thousand people will develop some form of CVD. If all of those people eat sesame sesame seeds, then the incidence of CVD will double, but not ALL sesame eaters will have heart problems (just as not all smokers get emphysema or lung cancer).
Therefore, consuming sesame seeds increases your risk of heart disease from .001 to .002. If sesame seeds caused heart disease, your odds would increase to 100%.
