Vegan Diet Reverses Diabetes

National headlines reported on Friday, July 28, 2006 that a vegan diet provides breakthrough improvements for people with type-2 diabetes. The study, headed by Dr. Neal Barnard, compared one group of people following a low-fat vegan diet with another group on the standard American Diabetes Association (ADA) diet over 22 weeks. These results were not dependent on exercise, but diet alone.

Those on the diet with no meat or dairy (compared to the ADA dieters):

reduced their medication twice as often (43% vs. 26%)

lost twice as much weight (14.3 vs. 7.7 lb.)

lowered LDL-“bad” cholesterol twice as much (21.2% vs 10.7%)

improved their Hgb A1c levels by three times as much

cut kidney protein losses by one and a half times more

The vegan diet was easier to follow than the ADA diet with only three vegan dieters dropping out of the study, compared with eight on the standard diet. Those on the ADA were restricted in the amount they could eat by asking most of them to eat 500 to 1000 fewer calories daily. Portion sizes were unrestricted for the vegan dieters.

As a significant part of their education, the patients in this study who were on the vegan diet used the McDougall Quick and Easy Cookbook and the DVD – Dr. McDougall’s Total Health Solution for the 21st Century. This vegan diet is 10% fat with no cholesterol, consisting of vegetables, fruits, grains and legumes. Added vegetable oils and all animal products are avoided.

This low-fat vegan diet improves the overall health of patients far better than any medication available or any other diet. You can learn more about the Dr. McDougall’s treatment of diabetes by reading the article Type-2 Diabetes – the Expected Adaptation to Overnutrition

Oui, on ne le dira jamais assez que le végétarisme permet de se prémunir des maladies reliées à la consommation de la viande. Un des problèmes est qu'il faut aux gens qu'ils l'entendent d'autres sources que la nôtre. Et là, ça prend du temps avant que les médias acceptent aussi le fait que la consommation de viande est cause non seulement de cruauté mais de problèmes de santé, car ils sont aussi concernés par le plaisir de leurs hamburgers, hot dogs, bacon, saucisses, etc...
