Babies who have better taste in food
do not like veggies. But as you get older, you learn that
taste takes a backseat when you want to be healthier. You also find out that many of the better-tasting food items are not too good for you in the long run. Here's news that doing a vegan diet may be beneficial especially for those with diabetes:
People who ate a low-fat vegan diet, cutting out all meat and dairy, lowered their blood sugar more and lost more weight than people on a standard American Diabetes Association diet, researchers said on Thursday.
After 22 weeks on the diet, 43 percent of those on the vegan diet and 26 percent of those on the standard diet were either able to stop taking some of their drugs such as insulin or glucose-control medications, or lowered the doses.
The vegan dieters lost 14 pounds (6.5 kg) on average while the diabetes association dieters lost 6.8 pounds (3.1 kg). An important level of glucose control called A1c fell by 1.23 points in the vegan group and by 0.38 in the group on the standard diet.
