Studies by University of Oxford published in 2018 and 2019 further confirm what numerous other studies have claimed: that a plant based diet is a great way to help the environment while benefitting your health and longevity.
Lead author Dr Michael Clark, of the University of Oxford, says the findings could help consumers make better choices by equipping them with an understanding of the health and environmental impacts of different foods, and enable policymakers to issue more effective dietary guidelines.
Further, he stated: “Diets are a leading source of poor health and environmental harm. Continuing to eat the way we do threatens societies, through chronic ill health and degradation of Earth’s climate, ecosystems, and water resources.”
