US doctors in India to promote vegetarianism
This important update comes to us from Express India:
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.
