Dietitians Endorse Well-Planned Vegetarian Diets!

If you think vegetarian diets are risky or just a passing phase, you'd be wrong.
A well-planned vegetarian diet can be a healthy alternative to standard meat-based eating styles for all age groups, say the Dietitians of Canada and the American Dietetic Association.
That includes during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence, the groups say in a joint statement published in the issue of the Canadian Journal of Dietetic Practice and Research and the Journal of the American Dietetic Association and available on their Web sites.
"It is the position of Dietitians of Canada and the American Dietetics Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate and provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases," the statement says.
Vesanto Melina of the Dietitians of Canada says this is the first time the Canadian group has joined their U.S. colleagues in issuing a position paper, something the U.S. group has done three or four times at about five-year intervals.
Speaking from Vancouver, Melina said that more and more people are becoming vegetarian. Even Corrections Canada offers a vegetarian alternative for prisoners. "It's all over the place," she said. "People are doing it for all kinds of reasons."
"Women in prison want to be more fit. Others want to be healthier and they link vegetarian eating with reduced risk of several types of cancer, particularly colon cancer, and reduced risk of coronary artery disease." She also said that the mad cow BSE scare has prompted more calls from people looking for healthy alternatives to beef.
"I'm getting probably triple the number of clients," said Melina, who is also a nutritional consultant and author.
The dietitians' statement details the most recent science regarding key nutrients and how to obtain them through a vegetarian diet. Numerous health benefits are also cited like lower intakes of saturated fat and cholesterol and higher intakes of carbohydrates, fiber, magnesium, potassium, folate and such antioxidants as Vitamins C and E.
About four percent of Canadian adults and three percent of U.S. adults follow vegetarian diets and interest is on the rise, the joint statement says. There has been a substantial growth in sales of foods attractive to vegetarians in recent years.
"Planning a healthy vegetarian diet doesn't need to be complicated, but steps should be taken to ensure the diet is nutrient-dense," Melina said. "Just as with a meat-based diet, the key to ensuring the body meets all its nutritional needs is to choose a wide variety of foods."
The authors have also developed a Vegetarian Food Guide modeled after Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating and the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Guide Pyramid.
The guide, also available on the Web sites listed below, can be adapted for different types of vegetarian diets and includes a wide variety of foods commonly used by vegetarians such as grains, nuts, fruits, vegetables and soy products.
Dietitians of Canada represents more than 5,000 professional dietitians.
The American Dietetic Association represents more than 70,000 dietitians.
