Dr Neal Barnard talk on Reversing Diabetes
7pm, Wednesday 3 December 2008
Metcalfe Auditorium
State Library of NSW
Macquarie Street, Sydney
Dr Neal Barnard is president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). An advocate of low-fat vegan diets, Dr Barnard has written over a dozen books and published research papers on nutrition and its impact on human health. He has also conducted research into alternatives to animal experimentation and has been active in the animal rights movement.
If you have diabetes or are concerned about developing it, Dr Barnard's talk could change the course of your life. Although diabetes is a serious illness that all too often leads to heart problems, nerve damage, blindness, stroke, or kidney failure, it doesn't have to be that way.
The new book by Dr Barnard outlines a completely new dietary approach to preventing, controlling, and even reversing diabetes. The program is based on a series of research studies Dr Barnard and his colleagues have conducted over the years, the latest funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Published in the August 2006 issue of Diabetes Care, that study found Dr Barnard's program to be three times more effective than the American Diabetes Association dietary guidelines at controlling blood sugar.
Event is free with no RSVP required
