Following a highly useful Q&A format, two medical doctors (who both specialise in cancer treatment, one in the UK, one in Canada) answer all the commonly asked questions and concerns raised when people first think about moving to a plant-based diet.
How can you be certain that you are getting enough protein? Is the vegan diet safe for children? Is soya associated with problems with hormones?
Simple and straightforward answers are supported and backed with good solid nutritional scientific background.
So not only is this book useful for vegans and those considering switching to the vegan diet, it's also the new go-to guide for health professionals who are increasingly meeting patients and clients who have chosen a plant-based diet and who go to their medical practitioner for advice on the vegan diet.
