Citing health concerns as the number one reason that people adopt a vegetarian diet, this collection makes important scientific connections between good health and vegetarianism.The Complete Vegetarian examines the diet's impact on chronic diseases and serves as a nutritional guide and meal-planning resource. Cutting-edge research by leading vegetarian nutritionists and medical doctors finds that it is not only an absence of meat that accounts for the health effects of a vegetarian diet; other contributing factors include less saturated fat and more fiber, antioxidants, and unsaturated fats than other diets. The Complete Vegetarian promises to be an essential resource for health professionals and the growing number of people who have adopted or are thinking about adopting a vegetarian lifestyle. “Thoroughly reviews the positive and negative aspects of a vegetarian diet . . .
