A new report from the Medical University of Graz in Austria presents evidence that the vegan lifestyle is actually dangerous. The study found that purely vegetarian diets lead to poorer general health and a diminished quality of life marred by both physical and mental problems.
In spite of the vegan tendency to smoke less if at all; have higher socioeconomic achievement, eat less fat, get more exercise, eat more veggies and fruits and drink less alcohol they do not have a better life style by objective standards.

Didn’t read the article but, “Vegans suffer from higher rates of cancer; are twice as likely to be plagued with..” let me guess,”much higher rates of demanding how others live.”
I wish more people would become vegan, my grocery bill is too much.

Ask any good conservative dentist about the severe dental problems vegans have.
Ask any good conservative FP or IM about the bad health their vegan patients have.
Ask any good conservative OB about the severe problems pregnant vegans have from still births, to complicated births to severely underweight babies.
Ask any good conservative Ped about the bad health that vegan babies have if they survive their mother’s pregnancy and delivery.

I brought this up in an earlier thread on grass eaters but here is some data to support the idea that meat is good.
Going “vegan” is mental disorder being expressed as a political statement...or you simply are too arrogant or stupid to know better..
Nobody in their right mind can believe a diet of zero animal products can possibly be healthy for the human body...
I do occasionally shop at Whole Foods. Candied pecans, fresh ground peanut butter, yummy salad bar etc. But the people watching can be amazing, especially when I go after 9 am Mass. What is sad though are families where they are checking out vegan and they have kids. The kids look weak and sad. I want to slap those parents.
“My husband went vegan for many years. He stopped after he got cancer.”
what more proof do you need.
My nephew took an in depth college nutrition course where he learned that we MUST have the proteins that animal products provide; there is no other source. He said that vegans are basically lying to us about their lifestyle.
“My husband went vegan for many years. He stopped after he got cancer.”
‘Vegans suffer from higher rates of cancer; are twice as likely to be plagued with allergies and suffer mental health problems.
Vegans suffer heart attacks and cancer at a fifty percent higher rate than meat eaters.’
If Freepers know any key people in clinical labs which run lab tests, ask them about the cancer rates in patients with really low cholesterol levels versus omnivours and patients with elevated cholesterol levels.
suffer mental health problems
researchers must have met PETA
My next door neighbors went vegan, and I enjoy grilling meat upwind from them.
As with many unusual diets, often some form of vegetarianism will work for some people, at least some of the time, often to alleviate an underlying condition, or if they have some other, unrelated health stress, like using recreational drugs.
1) Ovo vegetarianism includes eggs but not dairy products.
2) Lacto vegetarianism includes dairy products but not eggs.
3) Ovo-lacto vegetarianism (or lacto-ovo vegetarianism) includes animal/dairy products such as eggs, milk, and honey.
4) Veganism excludes all animal flesh and products, such as milk, honey, and eggs, as well as items refined or manufactured through any such product, such as bone-char refined white sugar or animal-tested baking soda.
5) Raw veganism includes only fresh and uncooked fruit, nuts, seeds, and vegetables. Vegetables can only be cooked up to a certain temperature.
6) Fruitarianism permits only fruit, nuts, seeds, and other plant matter that can be gathered without harming the plant.
7) Sattvic diet (also known as yogic diet), a plant based diet which may also include dairy (not eggs) and honey, but excludes anything from the onion or leek family, red lentils, durian fruit, mushrooms, blue cheeses, fermented foods or sauces, alcoholic drinks and often also excludes coffee, black or green tea, chocolate, nutmeg or any other type of stimulant such as excess sharp spices.
8) Buddhist vegetarianism. Different Buddhist traditions have differing teachings on diet, which may also vary for ordained monks and nuns compared to others. Many interpret the precept ‘not to kill’ to require abstinence from meat, but not all. In Taiwan, su vegetarianism excludes not only all animal products but also vegetables in the allium family (which have the characteristic aroma of onion and garlic): onion, garlic, scallions, leeks, chives, or shallots.
9) Jain vegetarianism includes dairy but excludes eggs and honey, as well as root vegetables.
10) Macrobiotic diets consist mostly of whole grains and beans.
Different forms of these have their own drawbacks, some of them marked. For example, it was recently determined that raw food only delivers a fraction of the nutritional value of cooked food, meaning that many calorie tables are incorrect. It also means that people who eat raw food diets, vegetarian or not, frequently suffer from malnutrition.
There are still a lot of unanswered questions relating to food, nutrition, and what should be included or excluded from a healthy diet.
