Library programs focus on alternative diets

2

More and more people are adopting alternative diets, like vegan and gluten-free, for a variety of reasons. If you’re new to these lifestyles, the Evansville Vanderburgh Public Library is offering two programs that you’ll want to mark on your calendar.

On Monday, April 2 at 6:30 pm, North Park Branch will present a program on gluten-free living. If you or someone you know has recently been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, or if you’re simply interested in learning more about living gluten-free and your dietary options, Beth Young, a registered dietician, will share information about gluten-free diets. For more information, please call 428-8237.

If you’ve adopted, or are considering adopting, a vegan diet, Red Bank Branch will present a program on vegan baking on Thursday, April 5 at 6:30 pm. Learn about ingredient options and finding vegan ingredients and recipes. Please reserve your spot at this program by calling 428-8205, or register online at evpl.org.

  1. Thank you for this information. As a post-surgery cardiac patient, I have been advised to adopt a more heart healthy diet, among other lifestyle changes. I did so after my surgery, and while frequent my blood tests showed great improvements, I still struggle with blood sugar and triglyceride levels.

    Recently, I discovered a video produced by a former heart surgeon, Caldwell Esselstyn, MD, at Cleveland Clinic (where I had my surgery), and he advises an extremely low fat vegan diet even stricter than most vegan diets. He claims such a diet repairs vascular damage and eliminated the need for most surgery.

    I’ve been following Dr. Esselstyn’s recommended diet for only 6 weeks, and my most recent blood test showed a huge drop in LDL cholesterol and blood sugar. I’ll attend the Red Bank Branch presentation to see what it has to offer. Thanks for the info.
