Yesterday, I posted about meat-eating extending lifespan, unlike eating vegetables. In corroboration of the latter, the study below now claims that eating vegetables does nothing good for the heart. Now, I don&#8217;t endorse completely shunning vegetables, however, the vegan lifestyle the goons over at WEF have in store for us is definitely something that should be vigorously questioned and, based on the totality of evidence so far, resisted as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fnut.2022.831470\/full?utm_source=fweb&amp;utm_medium=nblog&amp;utm_campaign=ba-sci-fnut-uk-biobank-epidemiology-vegetable-consumption-cardiovascular-disease\">https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fnut.2022.831470\/full?utm_source=fweb&amp;utm_medium=nblog&amp;utm_campaign=ba-sci-fnut-uk-biobank-epidemiology-vegetable-consumption-cardiovascular-disease<\/a><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.studyfinds.org\/eating-vegetables-heart-disease\/<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/blog.frontiersin.org\/2022\/02\/21\/frontiers-nutrition-cardiovascular-disease-risk-vegetable-intake-does-not-protect\/<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8230;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>A sufficient intake of vegetables is important for maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding a wide range of diseases. <span style=\"color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;\">But might a diet rich in vegetables also lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)?<\/span> Unfortunately, <span style=\"color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;\">researchers<\/span> from the Nuffield Department of Population Health at the University of Oxford, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the University of Bristol <span style=\"color: #ff0000; text-decoration: underline;\">found no evidence for this<\/span><\/strong><\/span>. That the consumption of vegetables might lower the risk of CVD might at first sight seem plausible, as their ingredients such as carotenoids and alpha-tocopherol have properties that could protect against CVD.
