Eating veggies shrinks the brain-Health/Sci-The Times of India

MELBOURNE: Scientists have discovered that going veggie could be bad for your brain-with those on a meat-free diet six times more likely to suffer brain shrinkage.

Another reason to eat meat!

but does it shrink your intelligence??

^Note the key words of your own damn quote, the article specifically stats a strict meat-free diet as responsible for the increased risk of brain shrinkage, not eating veggies in general.

Yeah I would have to bank on that being due to a low protein diet more than anything else I bet.

Hmm i think I can finally understand PETA and its members.

The study examined vitamin deficiency in elderly people. They concluded normal B12 levels may protect against brain shrinkage in elderly people.

Why are your trying to ruin a perfectly good flame thread? The fact the article mentions one way for vegans to include B12 in their diet is included so that it can be ignored.

It's a misleading article. It should say vitamin b12 deficiency was linked to brain shrinkage in elderly test subjects, not that "eating veggies shrink the brain." Plus, the majority of vegetarians are lacto or lacto-ovo and get b12 from dairy and eggs.

Einstein would disagree!

einstein actually had a smaller brain then average. but sure if you don't take care of the yourself then the body turns on you.

another thing. I saw a study a copule of days ago saying that vegetarians has on average higher IQ then people who eat meat. but vegans had lower (dang).

my view on that is it takes some thinking for yourself to go vegetarian and go against the masses. but veganism is a subculture that attracts many idiots that don't think for themself but only wants to have some freinds.

not that it has anything to do with anything, but the propaganda machine kicked in.
