  1. THE CHANGE OF SOME CORONARY HEART DISEASE RISK MARKERS WHEN GOING FROM A MIXED DIET TO A LACTO-VEGETARIAN DIET Gunnar Johansson, Börje Källgård, Per-Arne Öckerman, School of Health and Welfare, Halmstad University, Halmstad, Sweden

  2. Meats Lower consumption of red meats is consistently part of overall dietary patterns associated with lower CVD risk. (Mozaffarian D, Appel LJ, Van Horn L. Circulation 2011;123:2870-2891.)

  3. Meats Several constituents of red meats could increase cardiometabolic risk, including SFA, cholesterol, heme iron, and in processed meats, high levels of salt and other preservatives. (Mozaffarian D, Appel LJ, Van Horn L. Circulation 2011;123:2870-2891.)

  4. Subjects Twenty volunteers participated in the study (4 men and 16 women, mean age 44 years, range 27-61) from a town in western Sweden.

  5. Methods Clinical examinations were performed, blood samples were drawn and dietary survey, i.e. repeated 24-h recalls were carried out before (0 months) and 3, 6 and 12 months after the shift from a mixed diet to a lacto-vegetarian diet.

  6. Results

  7. Conclusions

  8. In conclusion, the positive effects of plant-based diets on CHD prevention may be mediated via a reduction in body weight; increased intake of carbohydrates, especially fibre intake and a decrease in energy, fat and protein intake.

  9. Primary, the main finding in this study is that there was a weight loss without any focus on this. Instead, the focus was on eating a healthy diet.

  10. Secondly, there was a decrease in LDL cholesterol and other CHD risk markers even though the P/S ratio was unchanged.

  11. Thirdly, when discussing the effects of vegetarian diets it is important to consider the presence or absence of certain food items, for instance vegetables, fruits, meat, coffee, tea and alcoholic beverages.

  12. Lastly, it is interesting to see that there is an effect on CHD risk variables within the normal BMI range. Thus, even those who fall within normal BMI ranges may benefit from either reducing weight or changing to a vegetarian diet, at least from BMI 23.4 to 22.8 according to this study

  14. Plant-Based Diet Reverses Heart Disease In addition, those participants lost an average of 18.7 pounds, while 22 % saw a complete reversal of their condition. This study employed a nutritional training program that eliminated both added oils and animal products. Esselstyn CB Jr., Gendy G, Doyle J, Golubic M, Roizen MF. A way to reverse CAD?
