Welcome to Plant-Based Diets in Medicine!
Here we publish articles pulling the relevant research and clinical studies from a wide variety of pathologies together to give you as complete a picture as possible of the power of plant-based diets to treat and prevent disease. In addition, we point out what we think is most relevant for your patients and practice. See SPECIALTIES pull-down menu above for the full range of published articles on this website.
We define a plant-based diet to be a diet composed of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, with an emphasis on minimally processed foods.
