Based on the largest study currently available[0], there does not seem to be any evidence supporting a vegan or vegetarian diet having any protective effect on all cause mortality. There's a lot of pseudoscience in the health and wellness community so I would remain skeptical when reading about any alleged health benefits of a particular diet.

Literature supporting a whole foods, plant based diet has already been documented and discussed in the book “How not to die.”
You have ONE study, and a cohort one at that.
