Vegan Diet Can be Beneficial

Nooo... Really?

13WHAM-TV reports on a study published in Diabetes Care demonstrating that a vegan diet is more effective at treating Type 2 diabetes symptoms than the American Diabetes Association's recommended standard diet.

40 percent of vegan eaters in the study were able to get off their medications. The average dieter lost 14 pounds. Subjects on the standard diabetes diet lost only about half that, and only about 1 in 4 reduced their diabetes medications.
