The Claim
The association between plant protein intake and reduced cardiovascular mortality is stronger than the association between plant protein intake and reduced all-cause mortality.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Higher intake of plant protein is linked to a greater reduction in deaths from heart disease compared to deaths from all other causes combined.
See the scientific wording
The association between plant protein intake and reduced cardiovascular mortality is stronger than its association with all-cause mortality, suggesting that plant protein may exert a more specific protective effect on heart health than on other causes of death.
Eating more plant protein lowers inflammation in blood vessels and helps the lining of arteries work better, which reduces the chance of heart attacks and strokes.
What the research says
1 studyEating more plant protein is linked to a bigger drop in heart disease deaths than in deaths from any cause, meaning it might be especially good for your heart. The study found that people who ate more plants had 13% fewer heart deaths and 8% fewer total deaths, showing the heart benefit is stronger.
