\science has long supported the fact that humans can receive all their required nutrition from a completely plant - based diet.\
\currently, according to a 2016 survey, there are about 3.7 million vegans in the united states, which accounts for just over 1 percent of the population.\
\in fact, a study from the university of florence in italy linked vegan diets tosignificantly lower rates of... heart disease.
\however, many plant - based foods contain the same nutrients in abundance as animal - based foods do.\

Explanation:

The claim is that a plant - based diet is healthier than one with meat. Option C links vegan diets (a type of plant - based diet) to lower heart disease rates, which is a health - related benefit. Option A just says humans can get nutrition from a plant - based diet but doesn't compare health. Option B is about the number of vegans, not health. Option D says plant - based foods have the same nutrients as animal - based, but doesn't imply better health.

Answer:

C. "In fact, a study from the University of Florence in Italy linked vegan diets to'significantly lower rates of... heart disease.'"
