For your health

The evidence has been converging for decades.

Adventist Health, EPIC-Oxford, the China Study, PREDIMED, EAT-Lancet. Every long-running nutrition study keeps landing on the same conclusion: people who eat mostly plants live longer, with less heart disease, less type 2 diabetes and lower rates of several major cancers.

The nutrition literature is noisy because food is emotional and industry-funded. Cut through it and the consensus is boring: eat more legumes, whole grains, nuts, fruit and vegetables. Eat less red and processed meat. That advice comes from every major health authority — the WHO, the American Heart Association, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

A well-planned plant-based diet is nutritionally adequate for every life stage. B12 supplementation is required (it's a bacterial vitamin, not an animal one). Iodine, omega-3s and vitamin D warrant attention. Everything else is easier than most people think.

Legumes, tofu, tempeh, seitan, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and even vegetables all contain protein. Most people eating a varied plant-based diet hit their needs without effort.
