Each issue of Vegetarian\nJournal<\/em> features a column called Scientific Update where Reed Mangels, PhD,\nRD reviews recent scientific literature related to the veggie lifestyle. In the\nlatest issue of the magazine we reviewed an article examining vegan diets for\ncompanion animals. Specifically: How many companion animals (identified by this\nstudy’s researchers as “pets”) are fed vegan diets? That’s one\nquestion that researchers set out to answer when they used an online\nquestionnaire to survey 3,673 English-speaking “pet owners.” Reed\nstates in her review, \u201cOver all, about a third of people who did not already\nfeed a vegan diet to their companion animal indicated interest in doing so and\nwanted more information about nutritional adequacy. This supports the need for\nadditional research into the development of nutritionally adequate vegan diets\nfor companion animals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reed\u2019s second review looked at whether a vegan diet reduces the risk of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)? A study was done in Taiwan and vegans were significantly less likely to have CKD compared to nonvegetarians. Reed said, \u201cAdditional research is needed to see if the same effects are seen in vegans in other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
