Most medical professionals and dietitians recognize the benefits of a plant-based diet, but they are not always familiar with recent research – and formal research on the benefits of plant-based diets for HIV patients has yet to be conducted. If you discuss plant-based dietary changes with your doctor or dietitian and feel unsure about his or her knowledge in this area, please consider obtaining a second opinion.

This web site provides information, compiled from various outside sources, on the role of nutrition in health and illness. Although care was taken in presenting accurate and current information from reliable sources, knowledge of nutrition and medicine is constantly evolving, and it's possible that there is more current or conflicting research and information available. Readers are encouraged to check the most current information.
