Associations between plant-based dietary patterns and risks of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality - a systematic review and meta-analysis
Opting for a plant-based diet may help reduce the incidence and mortality rates of cancer, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
The purpose of this study was to undertake a meta-analysis of data compiled from 76 scientific publications that focused on the link between the intake of a plant-based diet and the risk of developing and dying from cancer, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease. More than 2 million men and women were recruited for this study.
Researchers discovered that devout consumption of plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, resulted in a significant decrease in cancer, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease development and mortality risk. This study suggests that healthy plant-food eating may confer an individual with adequate protection against cancer, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
