SCIENTIFIC UPDATES: A REVIEW OF RECENT SCIENTIFIC
PAPERS RELATED TO VEGETARIANISM
By Reed Mangels, Ph.D., R.D.
HIGH-FAT DIETS AND RED MEAT ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED RISK OF
DIVERTICULAR DISEASE
Diverticular disease results in approximately 200,000 hospitalizations in
the US annually. This disease, whose symptoms include abdominal pain and
constipation, sometimes alternating with diarrhea, is almost unknown in
less-developed countries. It is generally thought to be due to a low-fiber
diet.
Diverticular disease occurs when one or more small pouches (diverticula)
form in the large intestine. These may be caused by excessive straining
when trying to pass hard stools. The straining leads to a weakening in
the intestinal tissue, allowing a pouch to form. In time, these pouches
fill with fecal matter that cannot be expelled. The diverticula and
tissues around them can become inflamed, leading to symptoms.
A study of more than 47,000 US men examined dietary factors which were
associated with symptomatic diverticular disease. Risks of having
diverticular disease were particularly high among men who ate large
amounts of fat or red meat and low amounts of dietary fiber. Diets with
generous amounts of fiber from fruits and vegetables were associated with
reduced risk.
The authors suggest that red meat causes intestinal bacteria to produce a
toxin which weakens intestinal tissue and favors formation of diverticula.
Vegetarians have been shown to have a lower incidence of diver-ticular
disease than would be expected on the basis of the fiber level of their
diets. This lower incidence may be attributable to the avoidance of red
meat.
Aldoori WH, Giovannucci EL, Rimm EB, et al. A prospective study of diet
and the risk of symptomatic diverticular disease in men. Am J Clin Nutr
1994; 60: 757-764.
CALCIUM AND CHILDREN
Children in Mainland China have calcium intakes of 300 to 400 milligrams
per day. Dairy products are rarely used. Information from this population
may be useful in regard to vegan children in the US who do not use calcium
supplements or fortified foods and who eat limited amounts of foods
containing calcium. The RDA for calcium for US children is 800 milligrams
per day.
Seven-year-old Chinese children whose daily calcium intakes were less than
300 milligrams were divided into 2 groups1. All children had similar
diets, vitamin D status, and activity levels. One group received an
additional 300 milligrams of calcium daily for 18 months. The others
got a placebo (calcium-free sugar pill). The growth of the children's
bones was measured throughout the study. The children who took calcium
supplements had a modest increase in bone density at the end of the study.
This is important because larger, thicker bones are less likely to develop
osteoporosis. However, because the study lasted only 18 months, we cannot
be certain that the increased bone density would have been maintained.
The results of this study suggest that children need at least 600
milligrams of calcium daily. Further study is needed to determine
whether even more calcium is required. It may not be, since the increase
in bone density in these children was similar to that seen in children
receiving approximately 1600 milligrams of calcium per day from diet and
supplements2. The protein intakes of the Chinese and American children
were similar, especially when expressed as grams of protein per pound
of body weight. Although it would be expected that the Chinese children
consumed less animal protein than the US children, this was not discussed
by either researcher.
Chinese children absorbed an average of 63% of dietary calcium or 189
milligrams. In another study3, US children of the same age absorbed an
average of 28% of dietary calcium or 246 milligrams. Children on low
calcium diets may also have lower losses of calcium in the urine. The
authors of the study of Chinese children suggest that these differences
may be inherited in populations who adapted to low-calcium diets for many
generations. They believe that calcium recommen-dations for Chinese
children do not need to be as high as those recommended in Western
countries.
This study raises several interesting questions: Do vegan children
display adaptations? What level of calcium intake should be recommended
for vegan children? What role does dietary protein level or source play
in determining calcium needs for children?

PROBABILITY OF HEART DISEASE IN WOMEN INCREASES WITH WEIGHT GAIN
A very interesting study published in the Journal of the American Medical
Association looked at the relationship between weight and heart disease in
more than 115,000 women between 30 and 55 years of age over a period of
fourteen years. This study showed that the probability of heart disease
increases with weight gain after age eighteen even though the person's
weight is still within the current normal range for adults in the United
States.
In 1990, the upper limits of the ideal weight ranges for women were
increased. This study strongly suggests that the new guidelines give
women a false sense of security.

women: risk within the "normal" weight range. JAMA (February 8) 1995; 273:
461-465.
ADULTS NEED 30 MINUTES OF DAILY EXERCISE
An article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association by
the Centers for Disease Control and the American College of Sports Medicine
states that adults should get at least thirty minutes of moderate physical
activity daily or nearly daily. Fast walking (3-4 miles per hour) qualifies.
These new guidelines also point out that the thirty minutes can be
accumulated in shorter periods over the course of a day. For example,
taking steps instead of elevators counts. At this time approximately 30%
of adults in the United States perform no meaningful leisure exercise in a
given month, which is a sorry state of affairs.

VEGETARIAN TORONTO
By David Bronfman
Toronto is a vegetarian's paradise. The center of the city offers some 15
vegetarian restaurants. This includes two Chinese eateries, which is not
surprising given the fact that Toronto boasts one of the largest Chinese
populations in North America. In fact, the United Nations has reported that
Toronto is the most ethnically-diverse city in the world. And it's all quite
affordable for American visitors, as each American dollar buys about $1.30
Canadian.
Toronto is also proud of its Vegetarian Food Fair, the 11th annual
of which is slated for the weekend of September 8, 9, 10, 1995. This is
North America's largest veggie-festival. Last year's 10th annual event
attracted an estimated 10,000 people. Mid-September is an ideal time to
visit the city, with daytime highs averaging in the 70s and evening lows
near 60.
The fair has something for everyone, including exhibitor booths,
cooking demonstrations, film presentations, special guest lectures, and of
course vegetarian food - for sale and sampling. This extravaganza is hosted
at the beautiful Harbourfront/York Quay Centre, an indoor/outdoor facility
on the shores of Lake Ontario.
Harbourfront is one of the city's most popular attractions in its
own right. And what luck for vegetarian sports fans that the SkyDome, home
of the Toronto Blue Jays, is just a 10-minute walk from the fairgrounds. On
the weekend of the fair, the team plays host to the Detroit Tigers. There's
no admission charge for the fair or Harbourfront Centre, while tickets to
Blue Jay games can be purchased by calling (416) 341-2011.
The Toronto Vegetarian Association, with a membership of 1400 and
presently celebrating its 50th anniversary, is the organizer of the food
fair. Kevin Pickard, the group's president, says, "It's a great feeling to
head up such a strong vegetarian community. But our total membership really
doesn't tell the whole story. The fact that 11% of our members are active
volun-teers says much more." Also in '94, the group was awarded the North
American Vegetarian Society's "Vegetarian Awareness Month (VAMMY) Award"
for 10 years of successful vegetarian food fairs.
Apart from the annual fair, the organization's other notable successes
include the "Toronto Vegetarian Directory," a folded flyer packed with
lots of infor-mation about Toronto's vegetarian scene. Thirty-five thousand
direct-ories are printed and updated twice a year and distributed free of
charge at a network of 100 locations city-wide. The association is also
proud of the vegetarian "Resource Centre" - with its enormous assortment of
books, brochures, cassettes and videos - as well as its 16-page bi-monthly
newsletter and its Vegetarian Tastes of Toronto cookbook. All these items
and more will be available at the Vegetarian Food Fair.
David Bronfman is an enthusiastic supporter of The Vegetarian Resource
Group but not much of a sports fan.
For a free copy of the Toronto "Vegetarian Directory," send a
self-addressed envelope and $0.50 (for Canadian stamps) to the Toronto
Vegetarian Association, 736 Bathurst Street, Toronto, Ontario, Canada,
M5S 2R4. Include a note specifying you would like the directory.

NUTRITION HOTLINE
by Reed Mangels, Ph.D., R.D.
FORTIFICATION OF SOY MILK
QUESTION: What are the sources of vitamin D and other added nutrients in
the fortified soy and rice milks I've been seeing lately? Are any of these animal-derived?
ANSWER: Fortified soy and rice beverages have been developed to provide several of the nutrients often found in cow's milk. The following companies state that their fortified beverages contain no animal-derived ingredients: Eden Foods (EdenSoy Extra), Health Valley (Soy Moo), Imagine Foods (Rice Dream Enriched), Pacific Foods (Ultra-Plus, Lite, Rice Fat Free, Rice Lowfat), Solait, Sovex (Better Than Milk? Caseinate Free), and Westbrae (Westsoy Plus, Westsoy Lowfat, Westsoy Nonfat, Natural Rice Drink).
The vitamin D added to many of these beverages generally is de-rived from torula yeast. Fortifi-cation varies from brand to brand. Cow's milk is commonly cited as a good source of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B-12, and riboflavin.
Most products not identified as lowfat are similar in calories to whole
cow's milk. Nonfat and some lowfat products are calorically similar
to skim milk. Soy beverages are similar in protein to cow's milk except Pacific Lite, Westsoy Lowfat and Nonfat, and Better Than Milk?, which are lower in protein. Bever-ages based on rice are also much lower in protein. Most regular soy beverages have a fat content like lowfat (2%) cow's milk. Beverages labeled nonfat, lite, and lowfat, as well as rice-based beverages and Better Than Milk? are lower in fat.
Here's how each of the fortified plant milks compare to cow's milk:
CALCIUM (milligrams in 1 cup)
Sovex Better Than Milk? Caseinate Free Light 500
Health Valley Soy Moo 400
Sovex Better Than Milk? Caseinate Free 350
Pacific Ultra-Plus and Lite, Rice Dream
Enriched, Solait, Westsoy Plus 300
Cow's Milk 300
Westbrae Natural Rice Drink 250
EdenSoy Extra, Westsoy Lowfat and Nonfat 200
Pacific Rice Fat Free and Lowfat 150
VITAMIN D (IU in 1 cup)
Health Valley Soy Moo 400
Pacific Ultra-Plus, Lite, Rice Fat Free
and Lowfat, Rice Dream Enriched 120
Westsoy Plus, Lowfat, and Nonfat,
Westbrae Rice Drink 100
Cow's Milk 100
EdenSoy Extra 40
VITAMIN B-12 (micrograms per 1 cup)
EdenSoy Extra 3.0
Cow's Milk 0.9
Sovex Better Than Milk? Caseinate Free 0.6
RIBOFLAVIN (milligrams per 1 cup)
Pacific Ultra-Plus and Lite 0.5
