A new study about depression is coming out of Bristol University in England. This study compares depression levels between vegans/vegetarians and their meat-eating counterparts. Nearly 10,000 British men were included in this test. Most ate a balanced diet include meat intake, while only 350 of the participants were committed vegetarians or vegans. Let’s take a look at the effects of foregoing meat entirely… The results of the study found that the vegan/vegetarians were more likely to suffer from depression when compared to their omnivore counterparts because of a shortage of vitamins and minerals that would have received from chowing down on some meat. This means a lack of B12. But that not all, these vegans/vegetarians ate a lot of nuts, leading to higher levels of omega-6 fatty acids. A lack of B12 and too much omege-6 are both linked with mental health issues and influencing a person’s mood. http://coed.com/2017/08/06/vegetarian-vegan-depression-study-meat-eaters-bristol-university-vegans-british-vegetarians-depressed-germany/
