Article from the Huffington Post:

Highlights from the article

1. "A recent review and meta-analysis of 96 studies concluded that consuming a plant based diet significantly reduces your risk of both cardiovascular disease and cancer."

2. "In addition, people who follow a vegetarian or vegan diet had lower body mass, lower total and LDL cholesterol and lower glucose levels, all of which are risk factors for chronic disease."

3."These statistics quite clearly link a plant based diet with improved health outcomes and suggest this style of eating provides protective benefits against cancer, heart disease and improve other key indicators of good health."
