Cure for Diabetes?

Kathy Freston, author, health researcher, and blogger at HuffingtonPost.com is writing a series of articles on nutrition and disease based on interviews with leading doctors and researchers who advocate a plant-based diet. I commented on her first article regarding cancer a couple weeks ago, and her second interview is now online which deals with diabetes and a plant-based diet. In her second article she interviews Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and adjunct associate professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine. Bottom line: the epidemics of obesity and Type II (adult onset) diabetes go hand and hand. Diabetes can be significantly helped if not completely reversed by eating a plant-based diet of whole foods.

You can read Freston's first interview on cancer here and the second (today's) interview on diabetes here.
