Luciano Proetti a vegan diet for toddlers

Interesting studies have been conducted in the center of the University of Turin Auksologicheskom pediatric clinic in collaboration with the Italian Vegetarian Association (AVI), Scientific Association of vegetarian food (SSNV) and the Centers for natural childbirth.

Their results described in the book "Children - vegetarians" Italian pediatrician Luciano Proetti, honored expert in the field of child macrobiotics and sanitation, and above all - the father of three children

. Since 1975, Dr. Proetti led by Professor Benzo participated in large-scale studies of the impact of vegan and vegetarian food on auksologicheskoe development of children. Data analysis was more than two thousand children who are at least three years grew by lacto-ovo-vegetarian, lacto-vegetarian and vegan diets.

The study found that the menu does not contain animal proteins, not only fully satisfies the standards recommended by previous intake of nutrients, but also considered the most favorable to normal development of the baby, and it was in the first years of life.

According to a famous doctor, "this food will be the starting point for the education of the children respect for living beings and the environment; why veganism - a colossal investment in the health of the whole society. " The optimal food for infants professor considers the nature provided the mother's milk, which contains all the necessary nutrients for the development. Fruits and vegetables, too early input to the lure, can cause disruption in digestion and help to reduce the absorbability of the body of nutrients.

Dairy irritate the mucous membrane, thus creating problems with the intestine and the iron loss, which in turn leads to anemia; and food animal products causes such unpleasant phenomena as acidosis, fever, otitis media, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, and others. Dr. Proetti sure that a proper diet consists of cereals, pulses, vegetable oil, dried fruits, seeds, fruits and vegetables.

The reason that today the majority of physicians against vegan diets for children, lies primarily in the cultural and economic roots. So says Luciano Proetti. According to the doctor, our society is not yet ready to take veganism.

At all levels, pediatricians fear mistakes, for who can get a lawsuit in connection with the consumption of meat is considered safer, even though it is the cause of obesity and other diseases. However, in 1995 the American Academy of Pediatrics called a balanced vegan diet full of children and able to prevent many ailments.

Of course, meat and dairy, and pharmaceutical industries, research funding, are not inclined to publish the results, saying not in their favor. "To make such a statement would be to send this entire industry to resign. I have repeatedly advised not to talk about the results of research in the media is often removed by recording my performances on television.

But I have always believed that the truth must prevail, even over time. First you need to research data has been received in the scientific community, following - among practitioners, and, in the end, all the other people. And yet, for the past thirty years there has been a significant shift to a new kind of power.

Currently, many are advised to eat as much as possible of plant foods and decrease in the diet food of animal origin. We will continue to disseminate accurate information, so hopefully it will gradually reach everyone ", - says Dr. Proetti in his interviews.
