Dear Nasci,
Do these doctors know something that you may be missing? Dr. Neal
Bernard's book "Breaking the Food Seduction" explains why we "just
can't live" without sorpotel and how reducing it's intake (together
with a whole host of animal source proteins and fats) and contribute
to human longevity. Here is a link to an online article referencing
the book http://www.healthscience.org/content/view/143/101/
Anyone obstinate enough not to see the writing on the wall should earn
their own Darwin Award for removing themselves from the gene pool.
Studies are now finding that serious cardiac disease is reversible on
a vegan diet http://www.gentleworld.org/health/cholesterol.htm

Mumbai, January 18 A team of US-based doctors visited the city on
Friday to encourage people to switch over to vegetarian food.
A research conducted by the Doctors from Physicians Committee for
Responsible Medicine (PCRM), USA, proved the efficacy of low-fat
vegetarian diet in reversing blood sugar levels of people with type II
diabetes. "The westernization of the diet has played a major role in
the diabetes epidemic. America should Easternize its own diet. If
Americans learn to eat dal, rice, and palak, they would be slimmer and
healthier," said Dr Neal Barnard president of CRM.
A controlled study of 99 diabetic patients by PCRM —funded by the
government of USA — proved that eating vegetarian food, excluding milk
products, cooked in less oil can show reverse trends by bringing down
blood sugar level, cholesterol, blood pressure and weight in people
and especially in patients suffering with diabetes type II.
As against the current approach where doctors advice diabetic patients
to cut down on carbohydrates, calories and fat, Dr Barnard suggests
people with type II diabetes to shift to vegan diet. According to him,
the results would be visible as early as in the first week.
"The results of switching over to vegan diet would be visible in the
very first week. The person will experience weight loss followed by
drop in the blood sugar level. The blood pressure will also get normal
within six weeks," said Dr Barnard. According him, combination of
organic food and medication works the best for the patients.
"It is very difficult to switch over to vegetarian diet all of a
sudden. But, doctors should encourage patients to try out new
vegetarian recipes and help them to develop a taste of it," said Dr
Barnard.
Dr Barnard has also initiated steps to conduct the two similar studies
— one on adult patients and another on children — in collaboration
with Indian physicians. Barnard, who is in India for a weeklong stay,
was holding talks with doctors in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi,
Thiruvananthapuram, Hyderabad, Goa, Coimbatore and Podicherry on
conducting the study as well as encouraging people to take up
vegetarian food.
