Dear Editor,
Doctors recently announced some disappointing news for diabetic children and their families: The only pill that’s approved in the U.S. to treat kids with type 2 diabetes has been highly ineffective. But research shows that people can prevent—and even reverse—diabetes by eating healthy vegan foods rather than meat, eggs, and dairy products.
Vegan foods are cholesterol-free and generally low in saturated fat and calories. Studies show that vegans are nine times less likely to be obese than meat-eaters are, which is significant since obesity is considered the principal precursor to type 2 diabetes in young people.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics reports that vegans have a lower risk of death from diabetes and researchers have found that diabetics who eat low-fat vegan foods are able to stop taking medications—or at least take fewer of them—to manage the disease.
Veggie burgers, hummus wraps, bean burritos, and other plant-based meals are a whole lot tastier than medicine, too. If you want to keep your kids—and yourself—trim and healthy for life, visit www.PETA.org for free vegan recipes and product suggestions.
Sincerely,
Heather Moore
