學會簡介

台灣素食營養學會是由一群對素食有興趣或本身吃素的營養師，
醫師等專業醫療人員，以及從事營養醫學研究者所組成的非營利組織，
宗旨為促進健康素食飲食之學習，推廣，實踐，及研究。

我們希望能夠整合與營養與素食相關的科學研究，
提供專業人員及民眾最新訊息，
並且協助素食者吃出健康。

以後誰還要說醫生說吃素不健康？＝＝

會這樣說的醫生，表示他醫學院畢業之後，都沒有用功更新知識！！！

灑麻！！！＠＠

原來這個協會在98年就成立了！！！

過了四年才發現應該不算太晚？><

另外附上美國責任醫藥醫師委員會

PCRM成立很久了，也是由醫藥專業人士組成，PCRM除了推廣純素以外也推廣動物實驗替代方案，當年我也在肖想台灣什麼時候會有這種專業團隊出現呢.......
如今真的出現了...!!!! 真的很欣慰....太棒了！TOT

意外發現...
他們網站居然還有前一陣子因狂X病引出的實驗米格魯的抗議活動....

Maggie Q Urges Taiwan: Halt Proposed Rabies Experiments on Beagle Puppies

Maggie Q, star of long-running television series Nikita, is urging the Taiwanese government to immediately halt proposed experiments to inject beagle puppies with rabies.

“Having lived and worked in Taiwan, I know it to be a place of progressive ideas and practices. I am concerned that these experiments are a step backward, not forward,” Maggie writes in her letter. “I strongly believe that the lives of animals matter and that we must not cause harm to one to protect another when the only result will be to prove what has already been repeatedly demonstrated.”

Join Maggie Q and the Physicians Committee in stopping these experiments by signing and sharing the Change.org petitionTaiwanese Government: Cancel plans to expose unvaccinated beagle puppies to the rabies virus!

September 12, 2013

Minister Chen Bao-ji
Council of Agriculture, Executive Yuan, R.O.C.
37 Nanhai Road, Taipei, Taiwan 10014, R. O. C.

Honorable Minister Chen,

You may know me from the films Mission: Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard or my long-running television series Nikita. I share your concern about the recent finding of rabies virus in ferret-badgers, but I must ask you to halt plans by the Council of Agriculture to expose unvaccinated beagle puppies merely to prove the danger of the virus. This experiment will cause the puppies unnecessary suffering and death and will only provide information that is already known among scientists – that all variants of the rabies virus are able to infect warm-blooded animals.

Having lived and worked in Taiwan, I know it to be a place of progressive ideas and practices. I am concerned that these experiments are a step backward, not forward. Vaccination of both domestic animals and wildlife has already been proven to be the most effective method of controlling rabies. I urge you to instead direct the COA’s efforts and resources towards an aggressive rabies vaccination campaign to make sure that all citizens of Taiwan have their dogs and other animals vaccinated by World Rabies Day on September 28. Vaccination of both domestic animals and wildlife has already been proven to be the single most effective method of controlling rabies.

I strongly believe that the lives of animals matter and that we must not cause harm to one to protect another when the only result will be to prove what has already been repeatedly demonstrated. The World Health Organization and the World Organization for Animal Health state that cell-based methods are preferable to animal-based tests. Infecting beagle puppies with rabies virus for testing vaccines is no longer considered necessary or ethical by rabies experts.

Please stop these tests, Minister Chen.

Sincerely,

Maggie Q
