Well, So much for this company that has been advertising a lot on conservative talk radio:

A sufficient intake of vegetables is important for maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding a wide range of diseases. But might a diet rich in vegetables also lower the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)? Unfortunately, researchers found no evidence for this.
Now, new results from a powerful, large-scale new study shows that a higher consumption of cooked or uncooked vegetables is unlikely to affect the risk of CVD. They also explain how confounding factors might have explained previous spurious, positive findings.
The researchers used the responses at enrollment of 399,586 participants (of whom 4.5% went on to develop CVD) to questions about their daily average consumption of uncooked versus cooked vegetables. They analyzed the association with the risk of hospitalization or death from myocardial infarction, stroke, or major CVD. They controlled for a wide range of possible confounding factors, including socio-economic status, physical activity, and other dietary factors.
The mean daily intake of total vegetables, raw vegetables, and cooked vegetables was 5.0, 2.3, and 2.8 heaped tablespoons per person. The risk of dying from CVD was about 15% lower for those with the highest intake compared to the lowest vegetable intake. However, this apparent effect was substantially weakened when possible socio-economic, nutritional, and health- and medicine-related confounding factors were taken into account. Controlling for these factors reduced the predictive statistical power of vegetable intake on CVD by over 80%, suggesting that more precise measures of these confounders would have completed explained any residual effect of vegetable intake.
Feng et al. suggest that future studies should further assess whether particular types of vegetables or their method of preparation might affect the risk of CVD.

Reducing cardio issues continues to be a very difficult thing to achieve from most any angle aside from weight loss and cleaning up bad eating and exercise habits.
Soylent green…
I’m starting to think that we aren’t immortal!
What to do, what to do.
HA!
OK, nothing but bacon for me from now on!
So why are they pushing plant based meats on people? Next they’ll be telling us that bugs are good for the heart.
Aw crap.
Back to chicken wings and beer.
Meat, potato, vegetable. Bread, butter WHOLE milk. Apples, oranges peaches....and Black Cherries off that old ladies tree (LOL).
Add bacon and eggs to that list.
What do you do when you don’t like a medical study’s results?
Wait a few weeks. There’ll be an opposite study.
Sigh. There used to be a time when eating eggs was bad for your cholesterol. Recently, Time Magazine published an article telling us that 4 out of 5 nutrition experts says that eggs are good for your health.

Someone better inform nancy pelosi and probably Keith Richards.
The Church of Quinta and Kale will capture there heretics and juice them to dead.
Oops, Quinoa instead of Quinta. I don’t want to cross the Hipster Inquisition.
Eating vegetables is what pigs are for.
“ Aw crap.
Back to chicken wings and beer.”
No kidding. What a complete BS report
Do they mention the time lapse? Not that i see
What is the suggested diet?
Chicken wings ad beer are excellent as part of social eating which is vital
Every day eating for nutrition is whatever we have discovered as what God provided us. That includes vegetables— and primarily I would say.
When hub was about 30 he was flying fighters. Yearly physical said he had high BP. And it was high. Changed exercise routine but we went through his bachelor pantry which he claimed was lo salt.
No where close.
Replaced with veg, fruit and lean meat. BP came right down. That’s decades ago.
And after a full 23 of flying jets with no further BP issues per USAF med guys
Not the few months like in this stupid report
Vegetables provide a natural balance of electrolytes in addition to vitamins and minerals
There is no way that cannot benefit one’s cardiac health. No way.
Almost everything in a grocery store is ‘questionable’. Growing your own food is better, but not all can do that and it’s becoming less and less available to many.
Understandably the food suppliers have a lot of people to feed and so it goes.
However, expensive medicines/pills are made to help your unhealthy lifestyle. Big Pharma, etc. have to make a living also. Hospitals seem to be growing faster now.
Gyms are available at a price to help. Where would we be without these life savers?
Just the way I’m seeing things.
