Epidemiological evidence for improved health and reduced late life mortality in vegans and vegetarians is both extensive and much debated at the detail level. The study noted here is an interesting addition to this body of work, the researchers having found a sizable population with a long-standing practice of cycling between periods of vegan and omnivorous diets. This produces a more compelling picture of beneficial metabolic changes that take place when animal products are eliminated from the diet. It remains a question as to how much of this is due to a reduced calorie intake in a vegan diet versus other mechanisms.

Dietary interventions constitute powerful approaches for disease prevention and treatment. However, the molecular mechanisms through which diet affects health remain underexplored in humans. Here, we compare <a href="https://…
