Diabetes Wonder Diet

Those who suffer from Type 2 diabetes may finally have an answer: veganism. According to a study published by the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, a vegan diet could significantly decrease the risk of heart disease or stroke (two out of three people with Type 2 diabetes die of one or the other). In a 22-week study, 99 diabetics followed either a vegan diet or one based on guidelines by the American Diabetes Association. Roughly half of the participants who followed the vegan diet reduced or eliminated medication while only about one-fourth of the ADA dieters had the same results.
