Guest guest Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Cardiologists Aware Of Life-saving Diet, Yet Failing To Recommend It, New Survey A pilot survey of cardiologists reveals that most know about the life-saving potential of a truly low-fat vegetarian diet for heart patients, but fail to recommend the diet in the mistaken belief that patients will not comply. Published studies actually show that patients transition fairly easily to a low-fat diet that contains no animal products, and most rate this diet as " good " or " extremely good. " If cardiologists' knowledge of the acceptability of the vegetarian diet were equal to their familiarity with its efficacy, the result would be improved patient care and fewer deaths. <http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/medicalnews.php?newsid=38192 & nfid=rssfeeds> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
