November 7, 2008, Newsletter Issue #141: The Macrobiotic Diet
Tip of the Week
The macrobiotic diet emphasizes whole grains, vegetables, and beans. It is low in fat, meat, dairy, and sugar and high in fiber and phytonutrients, which may help to prevent some kinds of cancer and cardio-vascular disease.
The macrobiotic diet can be lacking in important nutrients, specifically in protein, B-vitamins, iron, magnesium, and calcium. Clinical observation of children on macrobiotic diet revealed that they can have slower growth rate and even have mild kind of learning retardation.
