The prevention and treatment of disease with a plant-based diet has a scientific foundation and is considered evidence-based medicine.

Welcome

Welcome to Plant-Based Diets in Medicine. For years, research has shown the efficacy of a diet composed of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and nuts to help both prevent and treat a wide variety of common diseases. Many individual research reports have been published throughout various medical journals.

Here we publish articles pulling the relevant research 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.
