Health & Nutrition from A-Z
We began this archive as a means of assisting our visitors in answering
many of their health and diet questions, and in encouraging them to take a
pro-active part in their own health. We believe the articles and
information contained herein are true, but are not presenting them as
advice. We, personally, have found that a vegan diet has helped our own
health, and simply wish to share with others the things we have found.
Each of us must make our own decisions, for it's our own body. If you
have a health problem, consult your physician or health care consultant.
