Plant-Based Diets Are Associated With a Lower Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease, Cardiovascular Disease Mortality, and All-Cause Mortality in a General Population of Middle-Aged Adults . This study found that diets higher in plant foods and lower in animal foods were associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a general population. Vegetarian or vegan diets and blood lipids: a meta-analysis of randomized trials. Koch et al, 2023. This study found that plant-based diets have the potential to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials of substituting soymilk for cow’s milk and intermediate cardiometabolic outcomes: understanding the impact of dairy alternatives in the transition to plant-based diets on cardiometabolic health. This study found that drinking soy milk instead of cow’s milk reduces blood pressure, cholesterol, and inflammation.
