Cardiometabolic effects of vegan vs omnivorous diets in twins

A study compared the cardiometabolic effects of vegan and omnivorous diets in 44 identical twins. The vegan group consumed fewer calories, less protein and fat, and more carbohydrates than the omnivorous group. The vegan group lost more weight and experienced a greater decrease in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels compared to the omnivorous group. Other blood test results, such as high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, B12, and fasting glucose, showed no significant differences between the two groups. The study suggests that a healthy vegan diet can lead to improved cardiometabolic outcomes compared to a healthy omnivorous diet.
