In
 veg news, a forum on the many health benefits of the plant-based diet 
is held for Formosan (Taiwanese) medical students. Organized by the 
National Defense Medical Center in Formosa, the seminar was based on the
 book “The Essential Diet for New Age.” This publication has been 
recommended by more than 100 physicians in Formosa (Taiwan) and very 
favorably reviewed in a number of media, including the popular TVBS 
television station. It contains 31 vegan doctors and dieticians 
presenting their clinical findings as to the numerous ways that the 
animal-free diet enhances well-being. Twelve of these writers were 
invited to share their understanding of the veg concept. 
  Interview in Chinese Dr. Cheng Huaxing Chief Physician of Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital Vegan  Formosa (Taiwan)
  Chief Physician of Kaohsiung Medical University Hospital (m): Modern medicine can
 cure our diseases to a certain extent. But our lifestyle, especially 
our diet, plays a more important role in getting the proper nutrition 
and care for the body. So the vegan diet is a very good choice. It gives
 a good balance.
  Dr. Lin Jiayi Chief Pediatrician of Taipei Hospital, Department of Health, Vegan Formosa (Taiwan)
  Chief
 Pediatrician of Taipei Hospital (f): I am a pediatrician. More and more
 reports are pointing out the positive effect of the vegan diet on 
children’s development. One of the latest reports mentioned that eating 
more dark green vegetables and dark yellow vegetables can help children 
reduce body fat and increase bone density. So for children, a vegan diet
 is the healthiest.

chronic diseases, and menopause. Nutritional advice was presented as 
well as information on veganism being the quickest way to reduce global 
warming. 
  In Chinese Shen Pei-Ying Medical student Formosa (Taiwan)
  Shen
 Pei-ying (f): A lot of people think that dairy and eggs are important 
sources of nutrition for young people and infants for their physical 
development. Actually, we can get sufficient protein from nuts and soy 
products. The vegan diet is a healthy diet. Be Veg, Go Green 2 Save the 
Planet!

 important event; also, our many thanks, all participating vegan medical
