Can a vegan diet help "reverse" heart disease?

Within the month of August, I attended a seminar in
relationship between Nutrition and Cardiovascular disease. The organization that
provided the 2 day seminar discussed information and provided multiple research
studies that highlighted utilizing a vegan diet instead of medications. There
were many different speakers who presented on topics that included topics such
as plant based diets with hypercholesterolemic children, confusion over
cholesterol intake, and heart disease prevention/interventions in other
countries such as China and India.
One of the most interesting facts that I
found was that they showed within the first presentation that atherosclerosis
or plague buildup starts in utero. One point I found really interesting was
that children who born at a low birth weight are at higher risk of having
atherosclerosis than those who are not.
The
discussion of the all mighty egg was also discussed. The emphasis of who is
endorsing some of the researches was highly highlighted within these seminars.
Statins and the side effects were discussed and included multiple reports of
problems including memory loss within a large population. Additionally, there
were many positive results of lowering heart disease risk and overall health
with utilization of a vegan diet. The basis of many of these discussions were
using plant based oils and foods such as soybean oils/walnuts/flaxseed to help
with the overall disease prevention.
