According to a 2023 meta-analysis published in the journal *Nutrition*, adhering to a healthy plant-based diet was associated with lower mortality rates from chronic diseases. This brings up the question, are vegans actually healthier than those who eat meat? This article explores the scientific evidence behind the health claims and potential downsides of a vegan diet.
