Having read (what I like to think as quite extensively) into the current research on the subject, I'd be inclined to dismiss these findings. Like said by /u/lawlorino elsewhere in the thread, the p values used seem questionable to say the least. There is also substantially more evidence to the contrary. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Greger's book "How Not to Die", and reading through the references section at the back. I've linked a summary of the book below but I do recommend reading it to completion[1]. It contains a vast selection of data that seems to directly oppose the evidence given in the linked article. While I personally disagree with Greger's recommendations on sodium intake (no one ever controls for potassium...), he's incredibly thorough with his research, albeit stretching slightly with some of his declarations (my criticisms with the book mirror that of the summary linked). Anecdotally, myself and my father have been using Greger's 'daily dozen' app for the past year or so; myself fully vegan, him only eating animal product on weekends up until the beginning of this month where he has been trying veganism. I've managed to reduce my body fat by about 10% and reached a mental clarity I haven't ever had before, and my dad has come completely off his statin medication, reduced his body fat by closer to 15%, and in his words "feeling healthier now then I did in my 20's". I hate to sound preachy, but I only say this all because I want to help others. Please take the above article with a large pinch of salt.
