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.
The link was discovered by Oxford University scientists who used memory tests, physical checks and brain scans to examine 107 people between the ages of 61 and 87.
When the volunteers were retested five years later the medics found those with the lowest levels of vitamin B12 were also the most likely to have brain shrinkage. It confirms earlier research showing a link between brain atrophy and low levels of B12.
Brain scans of more than 1,800 people found that people who downed 14 drinks or more a week had 1.6% more brain shrinkage than teetotallers. Women in their seventies were the most at risk.
Beer does less damage than wine according to a study in Alcohol and Alcoholism.
Researchers found that the hippocampus-the part of the brain that stores memories - was 10% smaller in beer drinkers than those who stuck to wine.
And being overweight or obese is linked to brain loss, Swedish researchers discovered. Scans of around 300 women found that those with brain shrink had an average body mass index of 27 And for every one point increase in their BMI the loss rose by 13 to 16%.
We already knew they were stupid when they started passing up Steaks.
A1 sauce is terrible. You might as well be vegans.

He's hard at practice.

My roommate and good friend that I toured Las Vegas with is a vegan. And he's as nice as you can be. He'll eat meals with me, even if I get like chili dogs.
I have never gotten the obsession some people have with what other people eat,.
He is probably secretly laughing because Willco is eating hog assholes and illegal immigrants in that dog.
my vegan couple friends ate some egg rolls we cooked up at a party. i had assumed the filling wasn't made of anything meat related since they were spring rolls so i said it was okay. later come to find out my wife had used chicken broth to cook the veggies.
they said those were the best spring rolls they've ever tasted.
i wonder.

another recent study showed that vegans are 90% more likely to be objects of tennin's unrequited infatuation
but oh boy: "how DARE they not offer anything with meat in it, how DARE they!". the many times i've heard closed-minded cavemen outraged about an "incomplete menu"... and the hatred for vegetarians some of them like to put on display. ten times worse than any vegan or vegeterian trying to defend his beliefs.
