Vegan Easy Call to Action Inspired by Netflix’s ‘You Are What You Eat’
Published 23 January 2024
Docu-series 'You Are What You Eat' based on Stanford twins study, unveils health benefits of veganism and inspires Vegan Easy Challenge signups
In a pioneering exploration of the health benefits of veganism, the Stanford University Department of Medicine recently conducted a comprehensive study utilizing identical twins. The research delved into the profound impacts of adopting a fully plant-based diet, shedding light on its benefits for overall well-being.
The study paired 22 identical twins where one twin followed an omnivorous diet and the other an animal-free diet. It unraveled the intricacies of how a vegan diet may influence various aspects of health. From nutritional advantages to potential long-term effects, the research found that a vegan diet improves overall cardiovascular health.
Additionally, the twins following a vegan diet showed about a 20% drop in fasting insulin (a higher insulin level is a risk factor for developing diabetes), and they also lost an average of 4.2 more pounds (1.9kg) than the omnivores.
Netflix docu-series inspiring change
Netflix’s four-part documentary series, ‘You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment’, follows four pairs of identical twins who participated in the Stanford twin study.
The eye-opening series has captivated audiences worldwide, prompting a surge of interest and in plant-based living. As well as covering the results of the experiment, the documentary also highlights the realities of the animal agriculture industry on animals, people, and the environment.
