Vegetarian Nutrition or Low Carb Restaurant

Vegetarian Nutrition

Author: Joan Sabat

Approximately 12 million U.S. citizens consider themselves vegetarians and 13.5 percent of all U.S. households claim to have at least one family member practicing some form of vegetarianism. Vegetarian Nutrition provides data to help explain the preventive role of vegetarian diets for many chronic diseases such as heart disease and some types of cancer. As a professional reference, this book is an invaluable resource for those interested in vegetarianism and/or public nutrition.

Sabat<'e> (nutrition, epidemiology, preventive medicine, Loma Linda U.) selects articles that address major research on semi-vegetarians, LOV's (lacto-ovo vegetarians), vegans, macrobiotics, fruitarians. First, there are descriptions of vegetarianism, trends toward it, and the risk-to-benefit ratio of the diet. A section on chronic disease prevention addresses coronary disease, cancer, obesity, osteoporosis, diabetes, neurological disorders, and longevity. A more recent and refined argument against vegetarianism is taken up in a section on the human life-cycle: the benefits or dangers of vegetarianism to children, women in the childbirth years, the elderly, and athletes. Recommendations for a healthy vegetarian diet focus on nutrients, phytochemicals, vegetarian diets for chronic disease prevention, and developing a vegetarian food guide. Finally, there is the environmental impact of meat production, vegetarian morality, the historical context of vegetarianism, and the confluence of vegetarianism with religion and spirituality. And yes, there is much discussion of Vitamin B 12, that major small thorn in most vegetarian rationales. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
