No diet can make you "bulletproof" but there is ample data to conclude that vegetarian and vegan (whole food plant-based WFPB) diets do reduce the risks of disease.

This week, Dr. Kahn reviews 2 new research papers, one focused on heart disease and one on brain health. Both argue for WFPB diet choices. Then he provides common myths and solutions to succeeding at eating a healthy WFPB diet.
