Veg Diet Reduces Heart Disease

A new report reveals that a low-fat vegan diet reduces heart disease risk in

people with type 2 diabetes more than a diet based on the American Diabetes

Association (ADA) guidelines. The 22-week study, published in the Journal of

the American Dietetic Association, examined 99 people with type 2 diabetes on

either a low-fat, low-glycemic vegan diet or a diet based on American Diabetes

Association recommendations.

Findings reveal that the vegan diet dramatically cut consumption of

cholesterol, fat, and saturated fat, and increased healthful fiber,

beta-carotene, and vitamins K and C intake, compared with the diet based on ADA

guidelines. Almost half of the participants in the vegan group reduced, if

not eliminated, their medication, compared with only 26% of participants in

the ADA group. Overall, the vegan group had higher intake of vegetables, fruit,

nut and soy protein, and cereal fiber, and a reduced intake of trans fat.

While participants in both groups improved overall health, the vegan group

experienced significantly greater reductions in blood sugar levels, weight, body

mass index, waist circumference, and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. “These findings

should encourage anyone with diabetes to talk to their physician about

adopting a vegan diet to manage their disease and reduce the risk of a heart

attack” says the lead study author.

Inspiration

The Tofurky Trademark

Seth Tibbott was just another hippie living in a treehouse before his great

inspiration. In 1980, Seth’s small business selling meat-alternatives in rural

Washington state was in its early stages and the treehouse was the only place

he could afford to live. But that all changed when he developed a soy-based

version of the traditional Thanksgiving turkey: Tofurky! Tofurky hit store

shelves in 1995, and the meat-free dish has since become a cultural

phenomenon, even showing up on TV shows. Tibbott's company, Turtle Island Foods,

expects to sell 270,000 Tofurkys by the end of the holiday season.

What drove Seth to create the best-selling turkey alternative around? He

simply wanted to give vegetarians more options than just side dishes for the

holidays.

While Tofurky has attracted the most public attention, Turtle Island makes a

wide range of faux meats. In fact, its best-selling products are year-round

favorites veggie sausage and hickory-smoked deli slices.
