The Perception: Plant-based equals healthy.

The Reality: Not all plant-based foods are plant-nutritious (healthy)

We consulted the dietary advice of the nation's healthcare experts leading the “food-as-medicine” movement to create a set of guidelines they could agree, identified the plant-nutritous foods they were prescribing.

The guidelines are based upon the scientific evidence that supports the benefits of a plant-nutritious diet and identifies traits of those prepared and packaged plant-based foods the medical community endorses as nutrient-dense, fiber-filled and disease fighting.

We partnered with leading medical experts, including:

• Michael Greger, M.D. Author of The New York Times Bestseller, How Not To Die, Founder of Nutritionfacts.org, 

• Brenda Davis, RD, Internationally-acclaimed Registered Dietitian, Speaker and Author of Becoming Vegan
