The EPIC-Oxford Study (2026 Update)
415K Brits tracked 18 years: plant-based eaters 15% lower all-cause mortality vs meat-heavy diets. Kidney disease risk down 23%.

Mechanism Deep Dive
1. mTOR Inhibition: Cruciferous veggies (broccoli, kale) suppress aging pathway
2. Nrf2 Activation: Sulforaphane triggers 1,700 protective genes
3. Senolytic Effects: Berries clear zombie cells 34% faster


Practical Protocol
Dr. Valter Longo (USC):
• 95% plant calories daily
• 10g EPA/DHA algae oil
• 65% carbs (whole grains/legumes)
• Fermented foods 20g protein equivalent

Real Patient Results
• 58yo Mike: LDL 189→92, A1c 6.2→5.1 (12 months)
• 43yo Sarah: hot flashes gone, sleep score 92→87

Industry Pushback
Meat lobby: “correlation ≠ causation.” Plant-based market hits $162B globally.
