Plant-Based Diet Cuts Diabetes, Heart Attack Risk
By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.
Maintaining a diet that consists solely of plant-based foods (or as close as possible) is the best way to prevent dying from heart attack. One reason this is true is because a plant-based diet reduces the risk of diabetes by 23%, according to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine.
Diabetes is a major risk factor for heart disease. Studies find that it doubles heart attack risk for men and quadruples it for women.

But it isn’t only people with diabetes who can benefit from a plant-based diet. Another study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that people who ate a healthy plant-based diet (as opposed to those who avoided meat, but consumed things like sweetened beverages, white bread, and potatoes) significantly decreased their risk of heart disease.
People who eat healthy plant-based diets usually qualify for the “150 Club,” a phrase coined by Dr. William Castelli, head of the famous Framingham Heart Study, to describe people whose total cholesterol level is less than 150. Total cholesterol includes a person’s levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
Castelli said he had never known anyone in the “150 Club” to die of a heart attack. As studies are showing, a healthy vegetarian diet is more than avoiding meat. It’s also avoiding other foods and beverages that affect the human body negatively.

Fermented foods can be expensive.
Not all fermented foods contain live cultures — pasteurization kills probiotics.
Some commercial versions (like store-bought pickles or sauerkraut) are made with vinegar, not fermentation, and lack probiotics.
