> I find it interesting though that the right type of vegan diet will basically make you hypertension and heart attack proof A diet making someone heart-attack-proof is a pretty strong claim. Have a citation? I think the only thing one can say with near-certainty about a well balanced vegan diet is that it has much lower environmental externalities (i.e carbon footprint, water usage) than a meat-based diet, while being no worse for you than any other comparably healthy diet. That alone is a great reason to be a vegan, without having to rely on possibly hyperbolic claims of health benefits.
