Cardiovascular Related Diseases. Genetics play an important role but not nearly the same role as diet.

      • Of the 198 patients with CVD, 177 (89%) were adherent. Major cardiac events judged to be recurrent disease totaled one stroke in the adherent cardiovascular participants—a recurrent event rate of .6%, significantly less than reported by other studies of plant-based nutrition therapy. Thirteen of 21 (62%) nonadherent participants experienced adverse events.
      • Low Sample size, but still demonstrated 100x difference between control group and treatment group. Nearly completely reversible in the timescale of <2 years, biggest thing to me - most extreme reduction and most americans die of this).
• Erectile Dysfunction
  • Also caused by arterial cloggage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=19CUzfCOvPc
• Alzheimers
  • Likely largely caused by cloggage in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k2PtZMSVA8
• Diabetes
  • Likely largely caused by fat buildup/cloggage in critical organs (fatty liver / fatty pancreas disease) - also highly related to animal fat intake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5GIExMa4rM

Historical Evidence (I don’t think this is very strong evidence, but this is the type of argument every paleo type diet uses)

• Healthiest diets are basically those that are higher % vegan calories:
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okinawa_diet
    • As proportions of total caloric intake, foods in the traditional Okinawa diet included sweet potato (69%), rice (12%), other grains (7%), legumes including soy (6%), green and yellow vegetables (3%), refined oils (2%), fish (1%) and seaweed, meat (mostly pork), refined sugars, potato, egg, nuts and seeds, dairy and fruit (all <1%)
