New study shows people with vegetarian diets are less likely to be healthy

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

The correlation doesn't surprise me, especially because it's restricted to vegetarians in Austria. Most modern vegetarians don't eat balanced diets, particularly those who are recent converts and living in a country where it's not easy to be a vegetarian. Literally 1% of the original survey respondents were vegetarian.

I think a more proper study would involve generationally vegetarian communities in Asia and Africa, since they are more experienced and their diets are generally balanced due to being around for a long time.

Also, to pre-empt the correlation = causation fallacy that is sure to show up soon in this thread, here's the study itself:



I'd be very interested in seeing the follow-up study, when it comes out, so we can see how many of these people were recommended a vegetarian diet because of pre-existing ailments (which is common enough,) and also the specifics of the vegetarian diets in question. This is important research.

All i do is mention the word:

Bioavailability and watch vegetarians flip out.

Even if they were resolved to just eating fish, they'd do much better.

we aren't doing it for our health, breh. we are doing it for the animals. part of evolving your soul involves living in service of other beings

Well then I think you KINDA deserve what you get...which is poor health.

meat isn't bad for you.

All this moral high ground you think you're taking is at your own detriment.

non-vegetarians are becoming more annoying than vegetarians.

How? We just started firing back at all these lames wanting us to feel bad about something that was inherently necessary for modern humans to even be here.

breh, i have been a vegetarian for 10 years and a vegan for one year. i haven't been to a doctor or a dentist in 13 years. meats have the weakest proteins and they tax the digestive system. it's not right for your food to sit inside of your stomach for that long

i won

Dumbass. You don't go to the doctor in a 1st world country when something is wrong. You go to prevent problems. Your vegetarianism doesn't mean shyt if its not co-opted with preventative measures and assessment in medicine.

A sheer check-up would confirm whether or not this is true in your case.

And you should definitely go to a dentist. Thats just fukked up.

meats have the weakest proteins and they tax the digestive system.

Why do I get the feeling that you have a lack of basic understanding of biology or science in general???

Meats have the MOST DIVERSE types of protein...which equates to the most diverse ratios of amino acid availability. Dietary supplementation affects the bioavailability and uptake of essential amino acids...that you're CERTAINLY not getting.

Not having a present problem doesn't mean you're not developing one.

it's not right for your food to sit inside of your stomach for that long

Your body doesn't have anything "stuck"

If it did, you'd know it.

The body's efficiency when it deals with carbs/sugar, fats, and fiber is essentially regulated to ensure complete uptake and passing of what it needs.

You don't need to "clean" yourself out because all you're doing is removing the shyt that allows you to digest the food in the first place.

You're ruining your internal biome even considering that

we haven't exactly measured your time-to-event or life expectancy, have we?

tard,

i don't go to a doctor or dentist because i am in perfect health

studies have proven that meat has the weakest protein and it takes a very long time for the stomach to digest it. but you aren't about facts, are you?

I don't think it was ever necessary though.

And I said what I said because these days it's the meat eaters always trying to question why somebody wants to be a vegetarian. I'm not a vegetarian I don't think I could ever give up chicken but it's a trend I'm noticing. Let them do them, you can be vegetarian and perfectly healthy so whats the problem.

First of all, i'm not on a crusade.

Stating my criticism of people who are vegetarians doesn't mean they're immune from such criticism either.

What are your criticisms?

Thats not what perfect health is. Go get some bloodwork and a check up done. Doctors aren't for problems.

Do you even know what protein is????????????????

It was clearly necessary at some point in time. The caloric density humans need to be alive could only at one point be attained by killing and eating animal protein. It doesn't HAVE to happen now though. The agricultural revolution has made that possible, by domesticating animals that could provide us with milk and eggs, and lump resources of plants.

oh well In that sense yeah I skimmed by what he said and missed the context. I just think meat eating is a luxury rather than a necessity.

 

[dontspeakmuch]

many of these studies are supported by companies who have a vested interest so i think its best to go by experience.

I've been 95% Vegetarian for 1 year and a half and my blood work and heart are are exceptional according to Kaiser so that study is full of crap. I'm also extremely active and can indoor cycle up to 35 miles around a 1 hour timeframe . There's lots of proteins in vegetables too.
