My doctors have never been concerned, but then I eat dairy and eggs. I have a great book, Your Vegetarian Pregnancy by Holly Roberts, that offers an excellent guide to nutrients, and discusses how a healthy vegetarian diet actually much more easily captures your vitamin needs, without all the bad stuff. We know my pregnancy history isn't great, but my doctors said they're totally totally sure my diet had nothing to do with it.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03887313952590843057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3427274822037608854.post-34048834079810789492007-05-20T05:21:00.000-05:002007-05-20T05:21:00.000-05:00It's great that you've got a great plan to manage ...It's great that you've got a great plan to manage it- and I'm sooo jealous that you guys have summer!!Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433861868469484062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3427274822037608854.post-46963195598136853302007-05-19T21:50:00.000-05:002007-05-19T21:50:00.000-05:00I think sugar has a lot more to do with high chole...I think sugar has a lot more to do with high cholesterol that people think.
