The objective of the study was to understand how each type of diet would impact the twins' bodies, since in the In the case of identical twins, all genetic assumptions related to food processing are equals.
The research, published November 30 in the journal JAMA Network Open, took two months to complete and yielded surprising results.
The study by the University of Stanford with pairs of twins focused on aspects such as cholesterol levels, blood sugar, weight and signs of cardiovascular problems.
To the surprise of some researchers, at the end of the eight weeks of observation, the twins who had following a plant-based diet had better health markers than their siblings omnivores.
In general, weight loss was noticed in the vegetarian twins, in addition to their LDL cholesterol and blood sugar levels decreasing.
The researchers responsible for the study highlighted this fact. “The findings of this study suggest that a healthy plant-based diet offers a significant protective cardiometabolic advantage compared to a healthy omnivorous diet,” they said.
It is worth mentioning that before being subjected to scientific observation, the pairs of twins had all their rates duly measured.
