Publisher's Synopsis
For best health, science advises a low-fat, plant-based diet. According to Una J. Barr, the country's biggest nutrition expert group, "vegetarian diets, particularly fully vegetarian or vegan diets, are nutritious, nutritionally sufficient, and may offer health advantages in the prevention and treatment of certain illnesses." Vegetarian diets that are well-planned are acceptable for people at all phases of life, including pregnancy, nursing, infancy, youth, and adolescence, as well as sports."
