Summary

This article is behind a paywall. It has been included in the database and summarized below solely based on the content of the abstract.

This article reviews randomized controlled trials examining the effects of adult diets rich in protein from either plant-based and animal-based foods on cardiovascular health. Overall, the review emphasizes the need to consider the relative effects of different protein rich foods when consumed together and the importance of overall diet quality rather than the consumption of specific protein sources (in the short-term). The review also acknowledges that research examining gut microbiota as a potential mediator is preliminary. The authors recommend nutrient dense diets that include a variety of protein-rich foods, both plant and animal based, to meet nutritional needs and enhance cardiovascular health.
