People on plant based diets probably are healthier on this metric than others, on average. But I wonder if that’s more of a case that the control group generally has a shit diet?

Would love to know if a primarily plant based diet (lots of varied vegetables, berries, nuts and fruit) + some lean meat and plenty of seafood on top would be as healthy as plant based, or healthier even?

You can definitely be vegetarian and still be unhealthy. Excessive pasta, bread and cheese is one good path, but also processed foods and sugars. It gets a lot harder to be unhealthy when you're vegan but nothing is impossible.

Many of the other blue zones are heavy on the seafood, but on the flip side there are problems with seafood that have nothing to do with the actual fish themselves and everything to do with chemicals and the way we're trashing out planet.
