Vegans' Elevated Heart Risk Requires Omega-3s And B12
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/221533.php
Perhaps it isn't such a healthy diet after all?
Quote:
People who follow a vegan lifestyle - strict vegetarians who try to eat no meat or animal products of any kind - may increase their risk of developing blood clots and atherosclerosis or "hardening of the arteries," which are conditions that can lead to heart attacks and stroke. That's the conclusion of a review of dozens of articles published on the biochemistry of vegetarianism during the past 30 years. The article appears in ACS' bi-weekly Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
