Well... that's what Dean Ornish and his followers would like you to believe. Truth is, that many people here have made huge improvements on their lipid profiles by following a low carb diet. Dr. Davis, cardiologist, has helped loads of people improve their heart scans. The book "Wheat Belly" goes into that. He's got a blog "Wheat Belly Blog" and he also has a web site program called "Track Your Plaque".

Gary Taubes, one of the best science writers on the planet, has some good books on the subject. Dr. Peter Attia is another. Dr. Feinman, Drs. Phinney and Volek.

Just a smattering of those folks investigating this topic and writing on it. Most of them have blogs and books. Look 'em up!

Oh yes, just remembered, we had a lady on here who reversed her heart disease. I forget exactly which type she had but her cardiologist was astonished.

Be forewarned: Vegan believers will never change their mind no matter what evidence is presented. It is more religion than science.
