Being a Vegan shrinks the brain.
« on: September 14, 2008, 09:46:36 PM »
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.

Vegans and vegetarians are the most likely to be deficient because the best sources of the vitamin are meat, particularly liver, milk and fish. Vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause anaemia and inflammation of the nervous system. Yeast extracts are one of the few vegetarian foods which provide good levels of the vitamin.

I'm surprised this took this long to put in print - It is believed that the reason we came to dominate as a species is because of eating meat - all that extra protein went to brain building - its safe to assume removing it would have the opposite effect.

I have had no meat for at least 25 years. I feel fine and aside from a blood pressure problem and I have never been sick in my life(the kind of illness that would require hospitalization). I do eat fish occasionally but other wise it is veggies for me.

On the plus side, it doesn't stink.  :p

I tried the vegetarian thing for most of a year.  Completely odorless, which is a plus, but sometimes you might get funny colors coming out the other end.

It happened when his brain shrank during that year.
