Abstract in brief

  • Plant-based diets can significantly lower the risk of major cardiometabolic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, obesity, and type 2 diabetes, potentially preventing nearly half of related deaths in the US.
  • These diets improve nutrient intake, promote weight loss, and help control blood sugar, blood lipids, and blood pressure, with evidence showing they can reduce the risk of heart and brain vascular events by up to 40% and 29%, respectively.
  • Properly planned vegetarian and vegan diets are not only effective for disease prevention but can also reverse atherosclerosis and improve overall cardiovascular health, making them a recommended strategy in dietary guidelines.]

Great talks by Suter & @charlesryanmd on the substantial cardiovascular risk in patients w #prostatecancer & importance of optimizing CV risk factors (eg, HTN, DM, BMI). A key reason I believe exercise, sleep & plant based diets are so important https://t.co/kYnqBdLMDe #APCCC24 https://t.co/yY6mBnOtiX

"What should I eat to prevent heart disease?" I have been asked this multiple times. Plant-based diets may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease events by an estimated 40% and cerebrovascular disease events by 29%. https://t.co/FZ657z5x8B

@ethanjweiss @cadiulus @TheVeggieMD some decent review papers from vegan and plant-based MDs, nutritionists & scientists also here seems a viable option for those who enjoy plant-based diets but lumping sugar with meat as “to avoid”

@peterpalmer52 @MarikaSboros @ascentovalhalla As for nutrition, the health benefits of a plant based diet are very well documented. Again, Google Scholar is your friend. Here's one article to get you started.

@AmandaZZ100 @DrAseemMalhotra @JoannaBlythman @zoeharcombe @KailashChandOBE @virtahealth 1) Here is some 20 extra studies showing evidence: Animal proteins increase and plant proteins decrease mortality. Those on plant-based diets have lower risk of diabetes https://t.co/ndU2kAnCMA Plant-based diets reduce risk of T2 diabetes by half https://t.co/P3FEU0Lq3W
