I know it is a Wednesday, but I have to post this Ridiculous Truth, since it is really on my mind and is bugging me to no end.
I read an article today in The Times of India, and could not believe how ignorant the reporters and the “scientists” can be. Let me give you an excerpt from the article, so you can see what I am saying.
“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. ..
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.
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. “
Now, how stupid can you really be to say that “veggies could be bad for you”? Apparently the author did not have enough intelligence to research the practices of meat production. Maybe he should have read my post on Fast Food Raised Beef . It makes me think that the writer must have overdosed on steroid injected red meat right before he wrote the article. Has no one told him and the “scientists” that Vitamin B12 is made by bacteria?! You can get all the B12 you need from non-animal sources. Where do they think animals get their B-12? You would have to be on crack to arrive to such a conclusion. I know of carnivores with very low B-12 levels, while there are vegans who test high on the same test. But, perhaps, the journalists and the “scientists” who eat a diet of dead meat, processed and homogenized milk, have brains that aren't functioning to be a little more logic...
It is not surprising that the article has no solid data and detail to show how the study was conducted and what biomarkers and criteria was used to arrive at the decision. The only redemption for the writer of this article is to show connection between alcohol consumption and weight problems to brain underperformance.
Believe it or not, folks, but this kind of mindset is Painfully True.
Remember: Eat Healthy!!! Be Smarter!!!
