Those on the vegan diet showed a decrease in the total level of cholesterol and specifically a reduction in the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LSL), also known as "bad cholesterol".
In contrast, those on the non-vegan diet showed no significant variations in these levels.
The Arthritis Research Campaign, which is currently looking into how statins may reduce cardiovascular risks for sufferers, said the study was of interest but said the role of diet could be exaggerated.
"We spend over £20 million a year in universities and medical schools to support pioneering biomedical research in order to improve life for people who have arthritis and related musculoskeletal diseases."
Instead of adopting a simple change in diet, they prefer to pump much needing funding into " Medical Research"... vivisection, keeping the gravy train running.
