0:05.4	randomized twins to either eat a vegan diet or an omnivorous diet.
0:09.3	And at the end of the eight week study, they looked at the differences
0:12.2	in LDL cholesterol, triglycerides total body weight and we're gonna talk
0:17.7	about the differences between the groups after being randomized again these
0:22.0	subjects were twin pairs so that's pretty interesting to
0:24.4	look at how twins would respond because they have very similar DNA to different dietary
0:29.4	approaches so there was a total of 44 subjects 22 twin pairs in this study this eight week study will talk about the differences between the groups and the different dietary regimes the calorie differences
0:40.5	Carbohydro differences protein differences but essentially what you're hearing in the headlines
0:45.0	is there are significant changes,
0:48.0	that is reductions in LDL cholesterol
0:50.0	in the individuals who are randomized
0:52.0	to the vegan diet over the course of the eight week compared to the individuals who were randomized to the omnivorous diet group.
0:59.0	In fact, you can see this graphical abstract here from the study that was published in the
1:03.8	Journal of the American Medical Association is Cardiobolic
1:06.6	effects of omnivorous versus vegan diets in identical twins, a randomized
1:11.1	clinical trial.
1:12.1	So again, this was an eight-week clinical trial.
1:14.0	The lead investigator, Chris Gardner,
1:16.0	was also the lead investigator of a study
