Can changing your diet truly combat major health issues?
Weve consistently observed in long-term studies that individuals who adhere to plant-based diets have a reduced risk of lifestyle diseases.
More recently, clinical trials have demonstrated that such diets can treat and potentially remit some of these conditions.
At the Physicians Committee, our research has particularly focused on type two diabetes.
We've found that a high carbohydrate, high fiber, low fat diet improves glycemic control, reduces medication needs, and offers other cardiometabolic benefits like lower cholesterol and weight loss.
