A new study finds plant-based diets, reduced cardiovascular risk factors more so than omnivorous or

flexitarian diets. Let's break down this observational cohort study that was published by

investigators over in Germany. Now if you read the title and the Lay Press

overview and this was published by the way in BMC nutrition, the title is

Plant-based Diets and Caravasco Risk Factors, a comparison of

flexitarians, vegans, and omnivores in a cross-sexual study.

You read the discussion, you read the abstract, you think, oh my gosh, you know, if I want to reduce

my carvasker risk over time, the best possible way to do that from a

nutritional standpoint is to go on a plant-based diet. That's the ultimate

conclusion, but when you look at the baseline characteristics of these individuals and the different

aspects of the diet it gives us some important considerations to suggest that

the omnivores in this particular study

were not as healthy compared to the vegans. Now that could be because of the

foods that they're eating that could also be of as a consequence of other things that they are participating in such as consuming more sweets and alcohol

So when if we look at the food group intake here, which by the way wasn't really discussed in terms of a limiting factor in terms of a limitation of the outcomes.

If we look at alcohol consumption, and I'm referring here to Table 2, which you can see if you're watching over in Spotify or

over in iTunes or YouTube you can see here the alcohol consumption.

It's about three-fold difference between the vegans, flexitarians, and omnivores.

Okay, so if you look at that's, I believe this is grams per week over time.

So the, essentially what you're seeing here is the alcohol consumption is significantly higher.

Sweets consumption is significantly higher.

Beverage consumption is also higher, again in the omnivores compared to the flexitarians
