Diabetes: A Whole Foods, Plant-based Approach - Paperback

A balanced, whole-foods diet will help prevent and relieve diabetes, a chronic disease that now affects 30 million Americans and millions of more around the world. In this book, longtime macrobiotic senior teachers, counselors, and authors Edward Esko, Alex Jack and Bettina Zumdick explore the relationship between diet and diabetes, offer dietary guidelines, and sample menus and recipes. Several case histories of individuals who recovered from diabetes with the method recommended in this book are also included. The authors are co-investigators in a dietary intervention study in western Massachusetts with patients with type 2 diabetes. The study has been approved by the Berkshire Medical Center and the principal investigator is Mark Pettus, M.D.
