The Claim
Among individuals with low genetic risk for coronary heart disease, ideal adherence to a healthy plant-based diet-lifestyle is associated with a 20% lower risk of coronary heart disease compared to poor adherence.
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.
If you're not genetically prone to heart disease, eating mostly plants and living a healthy lifestyle might cut your chance of getting heart disease by about 20% compared to someone who doesn't follow such a lifestyle.
