                          Foreword
                                                      We live in a time where consumers are constantly bombarded with dietary 
                                                      advice on how to improve their health and avoid chronic diseases such as 
                                                      heart disease and cancer. Some of this advice is measured and evidence-
                                                      based, but much is ill-conceived and sensational, often promoting the latest 
                                                      trendy diet, leaving the poor consumer bemused and confused about 
                                                      what to eat to stay healthy. Exhorting the general public to eat so-called 
                                                      ‘superfoods’ or desist from consuming saturated fats is likely to have only 
                                                      minor eff ects if the rest of the diet is not healthful.

                                     ROWLAND It is becoming increasingly clear that focusing dietary advice on single foods 
                                   (Reading, UK)      and nutrients - such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, sugar or dietary fi bre - is

                           Advisory Committee         is to look at dietary patterns and evaluate what their eff ects are on health 
                       of the Alpro Foundation        outcomes. The Mediterranean and Okinawa diets, for instance, incorporate 
                                                      a wide range of foods and there is both epidemiological and experimental 
                                                      evidence for their benefi cial impact on human health. These and similarly 
                                                      healthful dietary patterns emphasize the consumption of a diverse range of 
                                                      vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains. It is not surprising that these 
                                                      plant-based foods feature strongly in dietary guidelines throughout the

                                                      The aim of this book is to present, in a concise, comprehensive and objective 
                                                      form, the extent and depth of the evidence linking a plant-based diet to 
                                                      human health; from its contribution to good nutrition, to its role in modifying 
                                                      the risk of the major chronic diseases affl  icting the ageing populations of 
                                                      most countries in the world: cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and
