2019 EAT-Lancet Commission's Planetary Health Diet reduces early death risk by 30% and greenhouse gas emissions by 29%.
A plant-based diet promoting environmental sustainability, the Planetary Health Diet, has been found to reduce the risk of early death by 30% and lower greenhouse gas emissions by 29%. Developed by the EAT-Lancet Commission in 2019, the diet emphasizes plant-based protein sources like legumes and nuts, increased fruit and vegetable consumption, and healthy unsaturated fats while reducing animal-based protein and added sugars. The study revealed a lower risk of all major causes of death, including heart disease, cancer, and respiratory mortality.
