Whole-foods plant-based diets (WFPBD) have surged in popularity secondary to the recognition that it is a healthier alternative to the standard Western diet which is characterised by high-intakes of animal-products. In recent years, research has suggested that a WFPBD offers an array of health benefits. This includes, but is not limited to, the reversal and prevention of chronic diseases such as coronary artery disease (CAD) (Tuso et al., 2015). Atherosclerosis, a main component in the pathogenesis of CAD has become associated with greater consumption of meats; red and processed meats in particular. Since the 1980s, medical professionals have revealed that WFPBDs were directly associated with improving atherosclerosis, thus leading towards the prevention and reversal of such a disease (ibid.). This report will examine to what extent the WFPBD prevents Australia’s leading cause of death, CAD by analysing and interpreting clinal research studies and reports.
