Re: Vegetarian Diet Can Leave Nutritional Holes
Very good info, Chris - thanks. I always say that if milk were the only, or even best, source of calcium then why do all other animals get it from other sources?
I don't agree with everything in the article, but we wanted to post it because we think that the major point of the article is that if you are going to be a vegetarian you need to be sure to get all the proper nutrition you need. Too many people think that one simply has to stop eating animals and thus become a healthy vegetarian and such thinking will inevitably lead to poor health. Though vegans make up only 2.5% of the people of the earth, the number is growing and we put this article here to help vegetarians and would be vegetarians to understand this key point for the sake of their health.
What we don't want to do is start a vegetarian debate here. I will however point out that while I recommend a pretty much raw vegan diet for those who are fighting cancer, I emphatically do NOT recommend a complete vegetarian diet because of the discipline and knowledge required to be a health vegetarian. Vegetarianism may sound like the most natural thing in the world to do, but the fact is that a difficult and risky diet if not done properly for the simple fact that it is not natural for us eat that way, however laudable or potentially healthy that might be. We are omnivores at the top of the food chain and our ancestors have been omnivores for at least 2.5 million years ever since genus homo appeared on the face of the earth and the omnivore diet is the natural one we have adapted to eat. No doubt that the more raw plants one consumes the more health benefits that accrue, at least up to a point. Nevertheless, the longest lived peoples on earth are those who eat at least SOME meat.
Now, if anyone wishes to be a vegetarian, I tell them fine - just make sure that you know what you are doing, because if you don't you could end up with some serious deficiencies, as many vegans do. My hat's off to anyone who is a successful and healthy vegan. Those who are not are well advised to educate themselves on what that may take and what the pitfalls are.
An excellent place to begin is the site put up by veterans of the vegan movement dating back to the sixties who discuss all the various aspects of vegetarianism, Beyond Vegetarianism:
http://www.beyondveg.com
The people there have more experience with vegetarianism than all the readers and posters on this forum by a long shot.
