Each issue of Vegetarian Journal features a column called Scientific Update where Reed Mangels, PhD, RD and other guest reviewers review recent scientific literature related to the veggie lifestyle. In the latest issue of the magazine one review looks at Canada’s Food Guide. Reed says, “Health Canada, a department of the Canadian government, recently released Canada’s Food Guide. In contrast to the United States’ MyPlate, there’s no dairy group. Instead, the Canadian Food Guide calls for “making water your drink of choice.” Dairy products are included under the general heading of Protein Foods where plant proteins are featured prominently.” You can see the Canadian guide here: https://food-guide.canada.ca/en/

Another review Reed did is on a study that looked at the topic of diets based on ultra-processed foods.

And finally, Lauren Capano, Dietetic Intern, College of Saint Elizabeth did a review on a study that looked at recreational runners on a vegan diet. Lauren says, “Physical activity is an important component of health and well-being. Nutrition is key for sustaining and improving physical fitness. Many active people are adopting vegan or vegetarian lifestyles, but how do these diets affect performance compared to the traditional omnivorous diets of some athletes?”
