Gut Microbiomes in Vegans Indicate Better Heart Health

A new study of over 20,000 diverse individuals has found important connections between diet and gut health. Vegans and others who eat an abundance of plants had gut microbiomes correlating with good cardiovascular health. Meanwhile, most omnivores had gut microbiomes correlating with poor cardiovascular health.
