If all a plant-based diet could do is prevent and reverse the number one killer of adults (heart disease (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-not-to-die-from-heart-disease)), shouldn’t it be the default diet until proven otherwise? (See How Not to Die from Heart Disease.)  Yet the evidence for the benefits of a more plant-based diet continues to emerge for a variety of other life-threatening chronic diseases.

I’ve also discussed plant-based diets and diabetes in:
