An overview of what was and was not found in a new study on diet and the severity of COVID-19 infection. Plant-forward eating is associated with better outcomes.
Fully plant-based diets are the most efficient and, thus, the most sustainable – by tremendous margins. We can all make changes today to move in the right direction.
The use of misinformation by plant-based advocates is damaging and undermines our collective goals. The facts are on our side. Follow our tips for using an evidence-based approach in your advocacy.
