  • Study: Plant protein lowers risk of cardiovascular disease

    ... and all-cause mortality.

    "After adjusting for other dietary and lifestyle factors, animal protein intake was associated with a higher risk for CVD mortality, whereas higher plant protein intake was associated with lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. However, in the stratified analysis, these associations were confined to participants with at least 1 lifestyle risk factor. Moreover, we observed that substitution of plant protein for animal protein from a variety of food sources, particularly processed red meat, was associated with a lower risk for mortality, suggesting that the protein source is important for long-term health."
