American Dietetic Association: Vegetarian Diets Are Healthful, May Help in

Disease Prevention

The American Dietetic Association, the world's largest organization of food and

nutrition professionals, has just released an updated position paper on

vegetarian diets, concluding that such diets, if well-planned, are healthful and

nutritious for adults, infants, children and adolescents and can help prevent

and treat chronic diseases, including heart disease, cancer, obesity and

diabetes.

 

 

ADA's position, published in the July issue of the Journal of the American

Dietetic Association, represents the Association's official stance on vegetarian

diets:

 

" Appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan

diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate and may provide health benefits in

the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets

are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life-cycle including

pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence and for athletes. "
