May 30, 2023 – Compared to meat eaters, people who followed a vegan or vegetarian diet had lower levels of certain fats in their blood that can block arteries and possibly lead to heart disease and stroke, new research shows.– are from a meta-analysis of 30 generally short, small, randomized controlled trials published between 1982 and 2022.
Specifically, they had 7% lower total cholesterol, 10% lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol , and 14% lower apolipoprotein B levels. “Vegetarian and vegan diets were associated with a 14% reduction in all artery-clogging lipoproteins as indicated by apolipoprotein B," senior author Ruth Frikke-Schmidt, MD, PhD, with the University of Copenhagen, said in"This corresponds to a third of the effect of taking cholesterol-lowering medications such as statins," she said,"and would result in a 7% reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease in someone who maintained a plant-based diet for five years.
"While it is not necessary to entirely omit foods such as meat, poultry, and fish/seafood to follow a recommended dietary pattern," they noted,"reducing consumption of such foods is a reasonable option for those who prefer to do so."they gave to the U.K. Science Media Center. "There is considerable evidence that this type of diet can help lower your risk of developing heart and circulatory diseases by improving cholesterol and blood pressure levels, reducing inflammation, and controlling blood glucose levels," she said.ot all plant-based diets are equal." She said that healthy ones, marked by fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, improve health, but"other plant diets " do not.
