The Claim
Greater adherence to plant-based or vegetarian dietary patterns is associated with lower risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular mortality in adult populations.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People who eat more plants and less meat tend to have a lower chance of having heart attacks, strokes, or dying from heart problems.
