High-Fiber Diet Reduces Risk of Hardened Arteries
- Researchers from Lund University analyzed data from over 24,000 Swedish adults and reported on June 16, 2025, that low-fiber diets increase artery plaque risks.
- They found an unhealthy, low-fiber diet may alter metabolism causing dangerous, unstable plaques that narrow arteries and raise heart attack and stroke risks.
- A plant-based diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, and fiber linked to fewer high-risk plaques; high phytosterol intake lowered heart disease risk by 9%.
- Dr. Fenglei Wang emphasized that their research reinforces guidance to follow nutritious plant-based diets abundant in vegetables, fruits, nuts, and whole grains, highlighting the roles of inflammation and insulin function in related health risks.
- This evidence suggests increasing dietary fiber and phytosterols may reduce cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes risks and supports growing interest in plant-based foods.

Key Takeaways
Plant-based diet could cut risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes
A major new study has found that people who eat more plant-based foods rich in phytosterols, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and wholegrains, have a lower risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. The findings could boost the already booming plant-based market and inspire more health-focused product innovation.
