Hard to eat unhealthy on a vegan diet unless you are very devoted to fries, Oreos and impossible burgers.

It's almost like if you don't enforce the rules, people stop following them

Honestly, just test it yourself. Eat only raw fruit for however long, see if you get fat. You won’t.

This was my first thought when I read the headline.

You may have to potty a bunch but thanks to the power of fiber it is now one solidly jointed log!

When the country as a whole elects as their top leader a very well-known con man, cheat, liar, misogynist, blowhard narcissist, then cheers as he lies and bullies everyone for 4 years, it is no surprise that those same people think lying and cheating are OK behaviours. <shrug>

Look into UARS, sometimes called “skinny women sleep apnea.” And yes get a sleep study, but know that it may present differently on the study than obstructive sleep apnea. I would also consider looking into myofuntional therapy, it has been shown to improve the effectiveness of c pap machines, and is non-invasive. As a last resort people often get surgery, often called MMA surgery. If you can’t breathe through your nose for 3 mins straight start with an ENT to evaluate your airway.

Yeah but I wonder if they looked at or had a population that was say only eating animal products without any of the junk food listed above, and if that would have similar risk reductions. I looked at the food intake in the pdf and animal foods were higher in those who ate the most junk food. However they used a plant based health score and didn't make a model where meat could be healthy.

Plant-based diets are considered to be beneficial for planetary health.7,37 In addition, healthful PBDs are largely compatible with dietary recommendations for the prevention of chronic diseases across the globe,38 including those for a planetary health diet by the EAT-Lancet Commission on Food, Planet, Health.39 Our results provide further evidence to substantiate that PBD quality may be essential for individual health—that is, that PBDs are not beneficial per se and can even be detrimental to health depending on their composition. Interestingly, although we observed that the hPDI was associated with a lower risk of mortality, CVD, and cancer, we found no associations with hemorrhagic stroke and fracture. The latter have been reported to be more common among participants in the European Prospective Investigation Into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Oxford cohort who consumed a vegetarian or vegan diet,40,41 who have otherwise lower cardiometabolic disease risk.42 Our findings suggest that a healthful flexitarian type of PBD including lower amounts of animal foods may protect against such potential adverse effects of vegan or vegetarian diets.

So, isn't this just measuring a particular brand of healthy diet against ALL diets containing animal products (healthy and unhealthy)?

I ated too many fruit. Now I got to potty a bunch.

Sounds like hogwash to me. A plethora of fruits are available in spring and summer, as well as in tropical regions where hibernation isn't really a concern.

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say that the biggest "detriment" from fructose intake would be if one were to have so much that their insoluble fiber to sugar ratio were such that their gut biome destabilized

International scientists, including an Australian, looked at health records for more than 125,000 people in the UK, and found a healthy vegan diet was linked to lower risk of heart disease, cancer and premature death, compared with non-vegan diets. However, vegans who drank more sugary drinks and fruit juices, and ate more snacks, desserts, refined grains and potatoes had a higher risk of these conditions and premature death than non-vegans. Although this type of study cannot show a healthy vegan diet actually caused the improvements in health outcomes, the authors recommend people concerned about chronic disease adopt a plant-based diet that's low in animal products, sugary drinks, snacks and desserts, refined grains, potatoes, and fruit juices.

Hmm so omnivore eating refined grains and sugar probably has the same issues. Not really sure what this has to do with meat consumption.

The funding section of the paper says it was funded by the university's dean of research. The product was donated by the association. As another commenter that actually performs research mentioned, this is apparently pretty common for research.

You can actually just eat lot's of fruits and veggies and they activate the same pathway exercise and caffeine do for increasing energy expenditure. You would likely lose more weight than if you were to abstain from them.
