Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Nutrients will highlight the research supporting the health benefits and advantages of a total plant-based diet, including protection against major chronic diseases. In addition, research documenting any nutritional concerns relating to the regular consumption of a vegan diet, and papers dealing with diet sustainability and impact of a vegan diet on the environment, will be considered. We will also highlight any differences, in health and nutritional status, seen in population groups following a vegan diet as compared to a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet. Research that highlights the health outcomes of different ethnic groups consuming a vegan diet is encouraged.
Prof. Dr. Winston CraigGuest Editor
