1. Reduce hypertension.
2. Prevent cardiac disease.
3. Reduce cancer risk.
4. Prevent allergies.

Rationale: The New American Plate was created by the American Cancer Society with the purpose of reducing the risk of cancer. However, the mostly plant-based foods included in the diet may also have a positive impact on hypertension and cardiac disease. Prevention of allergies is not a claim of the program.
