Contrary to popular belief, even (especially?) among fellow healthcare workers...
As a former radiologist, I can make the following generalizations about nutrition and the human body:
Serious vegans:
- Arteries: Little to no atherosclerotic plaque
- Visceral fat: Minimal
- Muscle mass: Minimal
Serious carnivores:
- Arteries: Little to no atherosclerotic plaque
- Visceral fat: Minimal
- Muscle mass: Moderate to large
Standard American diet (most patients):
- Arteries: Mild to severe levels of atherosclerotic plaque, often age-dependent
- Visceral fat: Copious
- Muscle mass: Minimal to moderate

You do you, but your body doesn't lie.
