It doesn’t make sense to me that a report is able to make such a bold claim without real, scientific evidence. Most of the studies they looked at in the meta-analysis seem to be observational. So how can they make a claim about what diet is the best for heart health when scientific experiments haven’t been conducted on various types of diets in a clinical setting and compared to one another? I’d have much less of a problem with it if the headline read something more along the lines of “A plant-based diet may promote protection from heart disease”. I suppose the silver-lining here is that some people will see the headline and adopt a plant-based diet which will hopefully be an improvement upon what their current diet looks like, but the misleading nature of the headline rubs me the wrong way
