SHEILA SAYS: Testimonials and small studies have shown many benefits of adopting a plant based diet. Recently, larger studies have shown benefits of plant based eating for heart failure patients with coronary artery disease. Now a very large study has shown benefits of plant based eating occur even for patients WITHOUT clogged arteries!
