Although the focus is on studies of Seventh-day Adventists and other groups with many vegetarian members, the findings have wide application. Dietary research can be difficult to interpret so Fraser evaluates the adequacy of evidence about particular foods and food groups.Oxford scholarship online.VegetarianismHealth aspectsVegetarianismReligious aspectsSeventh-Day AdventistsSeventh-Day AdventistsHealth and hygieneSeventh-Day AdventistsDiseasesDiet in diseaseVegetarianismHealth aspects.VegetarianismReligious aspectsSeventh-Day Adventists.Seventh-Day AdventistsHealth and hygiene.Seventh-Day AdventistsDiseases.Diet in disease.613.2/62Fraser Gary E1687544MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827695303321Diet, life expectancy, and chronic disease4061111UNINA
