Hung, Pei, Kuo et al. measured the effect of a vegetarian diet on metabolic syndrome; often used for identifying people at risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The study used 71 vegetarian and 388 omnivores. Measurements were taken such as waist and hip circumference, weight, height and BMI. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were measured using sphygmomanometers on the

For the China Study Part 1, Researchers T. Colin Campbell, Banoo Parpia, and Junshi Chen collected mortality data for about 50 diseases from 65 counties in 130 villages. In each village blood, food, and urine samples were taken from 50 adults in order to analyze for toxic chemical, hormonal ,viral, and nutritional variables. Campbell, Parpia, and Chen showed that in China compared to the United States, fat intake was almost half of that consumed United States China also had three times more fiber intake, lower blood cholesterol, lower BMI, higher energy intake, and lower rate of obesity and lower cases of Coronary Artery Disease while only consuming 10% of the meat that the United States does. Campbell, Parpia, and Chen demonstrated that the morality rate from Coronary heart disease and other diseases was positively associated with salt intake and plasma apolipoprotein B which was associated with animal protein intake, meat intake and inversely correlated with plant protein intake as well as legumes and light colored vegetables. It should be noted that the data for this study was a combination of observational and
The documentary also shows that when autopsies are performed on people and when the material clogging their arteries is removed and sent to pathology, the lab results come back stating that they are clogged with saturated fat and cholesterol, not broccoli or tofu. Obesity seems to affect the wealthier people in other countries like China because they can afford to eat animal protein and consume plenty of fat from eating meat. (Robbins, Diet For A New
When I was growing up I was taught how to hunt, fish and trap animals for food as well as being fed an omnivorous diet, but today I have found that I no longer need animals in my diet. The Vegetarian Times recently found that out of the 311 million people in the US, 7.3 million eat a vegetarian based diet and 22.8 million eat a vegetarian inclined diet. Over the past century people have begun looking into the health implications of plant based diets as a way of improving their health and increase their longevity. This research paper is intended

When first brainstorming what topic I was going to pick for each annotated bibliography, it took me a while before I settled on a topic for each essay. While reflecting on my writing process, I came to the conclusion that more time would have definitely benefited my argument for each of these annotated bibliographies.
The nutrition transition and the increasing westernization, urbanization and mechanization occurring in most countries around the world is associated with changes in the diet towards one of high fat, high energy-dense foods and a sedentary lifestyle (Popkin, 2001). This shift is also associated with the current rapid changes in childhood and adult obesity. Even in many low income countries, obesity is now rapidly increasing, and often coexists in the same population with chronic under nutrition.
This research looks to understand how microscale differences in soil and plant canopy surface temperatures, rather than macroscale differences, can affect a plant’s photosynthetic output, its ability to survive in a given environment, and the general ecological processes within the alpine fellfield ecosystem. This ecological research was conducted in the White Mountains of eastern California: an alpine fellfield ecosystem with rich plant diversity. From the first to the third of August in 2005, the researchers measured changes in surface temperature on a spatial scale by measuring variances within a few centimeters of soil and a time-based scale by measuring differences within the span of a few minutes. The results showed a tremendous variation in temperature on both spatial and time-based scales based on the respective locations of different plant environments in the alpine fellfield. Models predict that the alpine fellfield will experience a higher range of

4. The independent variable in this study was the type of protein that the women were consuming. The dependent variable was the change in the health of the participant or the development of coronary heart disease. The researchers also had secondary outcomes that included diseases in the pathway between dietary habits and coronary heart disease. These included diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and

Having a healthy dietary method can reduce the chances of receiving many health diseases. These health diseases include obesity, heart disease, and cancer. By consuming certain foods and nutrients in one’s diet the risk factors for these health diseases can be reduced. A healthy dietary method that is beneficial to reducing and/or improving these health diseases is the vegetarian diet. The vegetarian diet follows a dietary pattern that is characterized by the consumption of plant-like foods and the avoidance of flesh foods (meat, poultry, and fish). The foods in this diet provide the body with many essential nutrients. This is why many health benefits have been associated with the vegetarian
