Vitamin B
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to evaluate the health impacts of plant-based diets, focusing on benefits like reduced disease risk and potential drawbacks such as micronutrient deficiencies.
Results Summary
A well-planned plant-based diet lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers, while a poorly planned one increases the risk of micronutrient deficiencies, particularly vitamin B.

Plant-based diets are increasingly popular worldwide. A well-planned plant-based diet lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. In contrast, a poorly planned plant-based diet increases the risk of certain micronutrient deficiencies, chiefly, vitamin B Plain language titleVitamin B
