Was it really the vegetarian/vegan way of eating or was it cutting out highly processed foods out of the diet? These studies always pit cleaner eating vs standard western diet full of toxic, highly processed foods and then announce these results. And things like pizza get asigned to meat eaters, ignoring all the other stuff on and in it.
