> A whole food plant-based diet is the best diet identified by science so far in terms of treating obesity Citation? I think the best diet science has identified in treating obesity is cutting out processed foods. Whether it's processed plant or animal food. Heart disease and diabetes comes from sugar and carbs, all of which are plant based.

The key is word Whole, a whole food plant-based diet is the only diet documented to reverse the progression of heart disease. The reversal of heart disease with this diet has been proven decades ago - https://nutritionfacts.org/2011/10/14/heart-disease-there-is-a-cure/ https://nutritionfacts.org/2011/10/14/heart-disease-there-is... No one knows the exact cause of diabetes, there could several causes. Processed foods are not whole foods. White flour, marguerine, processed sugar, cheetoes, that's a not a whole food it's not comparable to potatoes and bananas. Here is the opinion of one of the leading experts in Diabetes, Neal Barnard - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S51D07bvlPY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S51D07bvlPY He mentions that diabetes seems to be linked to an excessive consumption of fat, that inhibits the absortion of sugar. He has studies published showing that a whole-food plant based diets in some cases has made the person stop taking insuline altogether.

  Low carb is the only diet know to reverse diabetes. Previously type 2 diabetes was thought uncurable and only a managed disease. But Dr Unwin has been helping to change NHS policy and reverse type 2 diabetes. Over 60 patients to date! https://www.diabetes.co.uk/in-depth/whats-at-the-heart-of-healthy-eating-dr-david-unwin-discusses-low-carb-and-its-cardiovascular-benefits/ https://www.diabetes.co.uk/in-depth/whats-at-the-heart-of-he... We know the cause of diabetes, it's elevated insulin over time. We know what elevates insulin, it's carbohydrates. We know fat doesn't raise insulin. That website, nutritionfacts.org is quite wrong in several places. I read some of the articles, it's not that good I'd avoid it.
