Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The role of diet in preventing hypertension and cardiovascular diseases in African Americans, who have a much higher risk of developing these diseases, is not well understood. Therefore, this project will investigate whether African Americans following a 100% plant-based diet have more optimal blood pressure, vascular function, and blood lipid profiles, along with lower systemic inflammation relative to African Americans following a typical American diet.
