Plant-Based Research, a website promoting a healthy vegan diet from a scientific perspective, has made its debut! An organized collection of peer-reviewed, scientific journal articles on plant-based nutrition, Plant-Based Research is a one-stop resource for anyone interested in learning about the relationship between animal-based foods and some of the most common and crippling diseases afflicting Americans.
Micaela Karlsen, founder of Plant-Based Research, has been stirring public and academic interest in plant-based nutrition for years. Karlsen formerly served as executive director of the T. Colin Campbell Foundation, and is a contributor to Forks Over Knives: The Plant-Based Way to Health, a New York Times best-seller based on the brilliant documentary Forks Over Knives.
Of the new website Karlsen exclaims: “We have an exciting opportunity today to provide valuable public education as well as promote serious research on plant-based nutrition. Interest from laypeople is rising quickly, many health practitioners have begun using plant-based nutrition in their practices, and the academic community is just beginning to turn their attention to it!”
New content will be added to the website weekly, including commentary on the featured studies. Visitors can search the library, submit questions about nutrition, and sign up to be part of a recruitment list for future studies! Visit Plant-Based Research to learn more.
Adopting a diet free of meat, dairy, and eggs is not only good for our health, but for every person who adopts a plant-based diet, over 30 animals per year are spared from a lifetime of suffering. For delicious vegan recipes and tips on making the switch, visit ChooseVeg.com.
