Main navigation Clinical Research Improving Lives With Clinical Research For more than 20 years experts at the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine have been conducting and publishing clinical research in humans showing the wideranging health benefits of diet changes for conditions ranging from cardiovascular disease to rheumatoid arthritis menopause to migraines and weight loss to workplace productivity. Much of the Physicians Committees research has also focused on the benefits of a plantbased diet for type 2 diabetes.

Within weeks on a plantbased diet participants saw dramatic health improvements.
