Eating a low-fat vegan diet may be better at managing type 2 diabetes
than traditional diets, according to a new study.

Sorry I don't have the reference, but one of the other sources
commented that part of the difference may have been attributable
to compliance: the vegan dieters were more likely to stick with
the plan than the (if I may coin a phrase) quatitative dieters.

I can understand that -- it's *much* easier to stick with a diet
that simply says, "don't eat that" than it is to stick with one
that says, "you can eat that but only so much."

As with just about any lifestyle change, compliance is arguably
THE most important factor, so this is powerful.
