Twin Study: An eight-week turn-around in heart health

A new Stanford University study of identical twins followed 22 pairs for eight weeks. Half of each pair went on a vegan diet, the other on an omnivore diet that included chicken, fish, eggs, cheese, dairy and other animal-derived foods. Both groups ate lots of vegetables, legumes, fruits and whole grains and steered clear of sugars and refined starches.

The results? The participants on a vegan diet saw their lousy LDL cholesterol levels decline from an average of 112 mg/dL to around 96 mg/dL. Their fasting insulin level went down 20% — very protective against prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes. And they lost four more pounds than the omnivores. That proves, say the researchers, that a vegan diet is heart-friendly.

Not going full vegan? Dr. Mike says to add in salmon and embrace a plant-centered diet, devoid of added sugars and refined carbs. Dramatically reduce your intake of saturated fats from animal products. One alert: If you eliminate most or all animal products, you may need to supplement B12, calcium, zinc, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids DHA and ALA.
