A plant-based diet index and all-cause and cause-specific mortality: a prospective study.
People who ate more plant-based foods like beans, vegetables, and whole grains had a lower chance of dying during the study, even if they didn’t eat a lot of meat. This suggests that eating more plants is linked to living longer.
People with diabetes who ate more plant-based foods like beans, nuts, and vegetables lived longer than those who ate fewer of them. This suggests that eating more plants instead of meat may help people live longer, which matches the idea that plant proteins and fish are good for you.

Clinical support requires direct evidence. Mechanistic proxy and tangential studies contribute only to the mechanistic score.
- All linked studies are tangential or mechanistic proxies — no direct test of the claim has been found.
- No clinical evidence is available; the score reflects mechanistic plausibility only.
