Postura de la Asociación Americana de Dietética (ADA): dietas vegetarianas. Traducción y revisión con autorización expresa de la ADA.
CONCLUSIONES Se ha comprobado que las dietas vegetarianas adecuadamente planificadas son saludables, nutricionalmente adecuadas, y pueden resultar beneficiosas en la prevención y en el tratamiento de ciertas enfermedades. Las dietas vegetarianas son apropiadas para todas las etapas del ciclo vital. Existen muchas razones para el creciente interés por las dietas vegetarianas. Se espera que el número de personas vegetarianas en los Estados Unidos se incremente durante la próxima década. Los profesionales de la alimentación y de la nutrición pueden ayudar a los pacientes vegetarianos proporcionándoles información actual y precisa sobre nutrición, alimentos y recursos vegetarianos.
