Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 Here is an article on diabetes and being vegan. I know a lot of people who are terrified to even think about being a vegetarian let alone a vegan due to their diabetes and the higher carbohydrate content in our diets. This is just one article on it. Our recipes tend to be high in carbs, but the balancing may be that they are generally low fat. Most diabetics die from heart attack or stroke so nutrition is something they really have to think about. Made me think of it when Bron mentioned the diabetes section of the vrg site she sent. The PCRM mentioned in the article is a highly reputable group of physicians and they worked with Georgetown University on this study. The PCRM is also a good site to look at and the URL is included in the article. linda http://www.parkc.org/vegan_diet_diabetes.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
