Plant-Based Diets are beneficial in the prevention and treatment of many diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic diseases, cancer, kidney disease and dementia, as well as a large part of gastrointestinal diseases such as diverticular disease, gallstones, inflammatory bowel, and functional diseases.”
