Well, maybe. See the video "Forks over Knives" which is a documentary on the health implications of a plant based diet. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, Jr, a physician at the Cleveland Clinic has used a low fat, plant based diet to treat patients with advanced aerial blockage disease, with claims of surprising effectiveness. Animal based food products when eaten present the body with biochemical demands the response to which may be part of the causal chain that ultimately leads to atherosclerotic impacts in arteries. This is graphically presented in the "FoK" video, and Dr. Esselstyn does a much better job of describing it that I could here. Whether the diet and lifestyle chances they discuss in "FoK" actually could result in reversing atherosclerosis for any particular person is something they would need to discuss with their doctor.
