Study Links EAT-Lancet Diet to Improved Cardiovascular Health and Reduced Mortality

A new study summary indicates that closer adherence to the EAT-Lancet diet, a plant-based eating pattern, is associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. While supporting existing knowledge on plant-forward diets, the findings also suggest a need for mindfulness regarding potential nutrient deficiencies in certain populations, such as calcium, iron, vitamin B12, and zinc.
