8 So what s a whole food, plant based diet? As noted in the Nutritional Update for Physicians, a healthy plant based diet aims to maximize consumption of nutrient-dense plant foods while minimizing processed foods, oils, and animal foods (including dairy products and eggs). It encourages lots of vegetables (cooked and raw), fruit, beans, peas, lentils, soybeans, seeds and nuts (in smaller amounts) and is generally low in fat. Source: Perm J Spring; 17(2): 61-68

14 Association of Animal and Plant Protein Intake With All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality Mingyang Song, MD, ScD 1,2 ; Teresa T. Fung, ScD 2,3 ; Frank B. Hu, MD, PhD 2,4,5 ; et al Key Points Question What is the association of the source of protein intake with mortality in US adults? Findings In this cohort study, high intake of animal protein was positively associated with mortality, with the inverse true for high intake of plant protein, especially among individuals with at least 1 lifestyle risk factor. Replacement of animal protein with plant protein was associated with lower mortality, suggesting the importance of protein source. Meaning Public health recommendations should focus on improvement of protein sources. Source: JAMA Intern Med. 2016;176(10):

15 A few compelling research studies... Study funded by National Cancer Institute: - Vegans have lower rates of cancer than both meat-eaters and vegetarians - Vegan women had 34% lower rates of breast, cervical and ovarian cancer Harvard's Physician Health Study: - Included more than 20,000 male physicians - Men consuming more than 2 servings a day of dairy increases prostate cancer risk by 34% Study sponsored by American Cancer Society: - 148,610 subjects between ages 50-74, followed for 10 years - An increase in colorectal cancer is found in those consuming red & processed meats World Health Organization: - Red meat is a Class 2A carcinogen (probably carcinogenic to humans) - Processed meat Class 1 carcinogen (carcinogenic to humans) Sources:

16 The American Cancer Society response... "Our guidelines point to evidence of a significant link between high red and processed meat consumption and an increased risk of colorectal cancer as the primary reason for the recommendation to limit those products. Our dietary guidelines have recommended a diet rich in plant foods ever since we published our first special report on diet and cancer prevention in That's because evidence has suggested eating vegetables and fruit may lower the risk for some types of cancers."
