The VN DPG Executive Committee recently voted to fund a major evidence analysis project through the ADA Evidence Analysis Library. At least six new sub-topics will be research. These six new sub-topics are in addition to the three sub-topics, which were recently analyzed – vegetarian nutrition and cardiovascular disease, vegetarian nutrition and macronutrients in pregnancy and vegetarian nutrition and micronutrients in pregnancy.
This new project will take approximately 18 months to complete. Longtime VN member and former chair, Dr. Sudha Raj, from Syracuse University, is the chair of the expert work group. The expert work group will select the six new sub-topics and develop the evidence analysis questions. Relevant peer-reviewed articles will then be analyzed by trained evidence analysts and the expert work group will develop conclusion statements for each question. This information will subsequently be published on ADA's online Evidence Analysis Library. Finally, a Vegetarian Nutrition Toolkit will be developed.
If you have suggestions for subtopics to be considered for this project, .
