Anecdotal observations are scientifically irrelevant. My PSA was 2.5 but for the last several tests it dropped to less than 1 after I changed my diet. But this too is anecdotal.

The only Medicare approved program to reverse heart disease is based primarily on the WFPB diet.
NCD - Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease (20.31.2)
If you can find peer reviewed studies from reputable medical organizations that show that animal protein diets are good for these diseases then please post them.
Keep in mind, this thread began with a post commenting about the taste comparison between an impossible burger and a meat hamburger and it turned into vegan bash fest which is fine but Archie Bunker style comments are no substitute for real science.
