Plant Based Nutrition in Clinical Practice

An evidence-based guide to the uses, benefits and practical application of a plant-based diet for all health professionals, taking both a holistic and a systems-based (heart, respiratory system, diabetes, kidneys, liver, gut) approach. The book draws on the University of Winchester's Plant-based nutrition course, the first university course on plant-based nutrition in the UK. Edited by two cancer doctors based in the UK and Canada and a specialist dietitian, chapter authors include the key exponents of plant-based nutrition in their chosen field, many with international reputations. While each chapter looks at an individual body system, the aggregate evidence from all authors is clear - eating plant-based whole foods will save millions of lives and years of suffering from chronic diseases.
