Guidelines For Vegetarianism
PITTSBURGH (Allegheny
Co.) —Vegetarianism, a hot topic
of the 80s, has received little
attention in recent years. Vegeta
rianism, in a vague sense, refers to
the abstention from meat There
are numerous reasons for observ
ing such a practice, including eco
nomics, religious beliefs, ethical,
and ecological matters. In this
decade, the most common ration
ale seems to be due to health
concerns.
With the 1990 Dietary Guide
lines recommending to choose
“plenty of vegetables, fruits, and
grain products”, a vegetarian diet
at face value would appear to fit
the bill. Studies have shown a
reduced incidence of many chron
ic diseases of western society
amongst the vegetarian popula
tion. Specifically, vegetarians
tend to be leaner than nonvegeta
rians and have lower blood lipids
and blood pressure. In addition,
one study concluded that Seventh
Day Adventists (a group which
practices vegetarianism) were
only 50% as likely as U.S. Cauca
sians on the whole to develop
adult onset diabetes.
With these statistics, should one
think twice before converting to a
vegetarian? Yes!
Even the vegan who plots and
plans his/her diet for optimal
nutrient value is at a high risk for
deficiencies of protein, iron, zinc,
and calcium, as well as vitamins D
and B . “These nutrients are
found abundantly in milk, but not
in foods from vegetable sources,”
states Rose M Stoia PhD RD LD,
