Hi Jeff,
I'm under the impression that the diet eaten by the participants in Dr. Esselstyn's premier study--198 participants, published in the July 2014 issue of the Journal of Family Practice--was indeed vegan:
Am I mistaken?
Thanks.

Foods prohibited: Initially the intervention avoided all added oils and processed foods that contain oils, fish, meat, fowl, dairy products, avocado, nuts, and excess salt. Patients were also asked to avoid sugary foods (sucrose, fructose, and drinks containing them, refined carbohydrates, fruit juices, syrups, and molasses). Subsequently, we also excluded caffeine and fructose.
Am I mistaken?
Thanks.
