WRONG: Vegetarian diet 'weakens bones'
Why can't the media report science correctly? According to this AFP story: "People who live on vegetarian diets have slightly weaker bones than their meat-eating counterparts."
They could hardly misreport a scientific study more spectacularly. I mean, how hard is it to:
- Understand the difference between a vegan and a vegetarian?
- Assess the fact that differences in bone density (which the researcher himself deemed "clinically insignificant") did not lead to any increase in the number of bone fractures?
The Australian news reported the story somewhat more accurately.
But this headline and misleading story have been virulently misreported today. And what is the effect but to reinforce meat-eating habitats that are bad for the health of individuals and for the health of our world?
Jeez.






























Meat producers behind this one!
Or the pharmaceutical companies pushing their pills...for years I have been told by doctors I need to take pills for osteoporosis problems...not that I needed to eat more meat...heaven forbid I take vitamin supplements which may reduce the need to take the man-made pills thus cutting profit by these jokers...perhaps if meat producers eliminated the poisons they are feeding their animals thus making the meat more like it was 40 years ago as well as the poisons being used in processed food, refined sugar then they would not lose revenues...basically what it is all about...Money
It is ALWAYS about money,
It is ALWAYS about money, isn't it?
Maybe NOT Wrong
Many so called Vegetarians are actually GRAIN-arians and a grain based, protein starved, high carb diet has been shown to have all kinds of detriments to health including weak bones.
It is also important to note
It is also important to note this research was funded by the AMBeR alliance incorporated in Malaysia, which owns Amber F&B Nutrition Sdn Bhd, a dairy products producer and wholesaler. This company’s business is the “manufacturing of sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk and dairy products.”

Are eggs a vegetable?
At Waffle House, I ordered eggs and toast. The server asked me if I wanted any meat. I said no, thank you.
Does that make me a vegetarian? lol
Our life span depend on the
Our life span depend on the food intake, those contains chemical will most likely trigger us to acquire diseases. Doctors recommend fruits and vegetables. It’ s hard to break a habit especially if you are dealing with the choice of food, most of the time, the foods that we always used to eat are those that will threaten to our health. Millet is a light grain that is grown in Asia and Africa, and can be used to for flour, and of course, one of the oldest uses for a cereal grain, which is beer. It features in many vegan recipes and vegetarian recipes, and is a good substitute for rice for those with gluten allergies. Using millet, you won't need a payday loan to get iron rich foods.
meat
What's bad for our individual and collective health is not meat in and of itself. Factory farm production, growth hormones, and too much meat consumption are the problems.
Humans evolved to eat meat in small-to-moderate amounts (actually to gorge on it when hunting produced the relatively rare "meat-fall").
The vegetarian/vegan movement loses lots of potential support by engaging in the same kind of oversimplification used by the meat industry, and by its seemingly implied position of moral superiority over what is basically a lifestyle choice.
What's ironic is that for so many of us, it's our position as citizens of "developed" nations that gives us the wherewithal to even consider this as a major social issue. Some of the scolding and misplaced political guilt-tripping could only come from folks who can take for granted where their next meal is coming from, or that there willl actually be a next meal.
Just a minute there folks
You seem to be just as guilty of misrepresenting, or at least over looking, the truth as those you chastise. Living on beer and potato chips meets the definition of a vegan diet. It is almost useless to talk about the merits of diet without including exercise as a significant variable.

It is true, vegetarian AND vegan diets are deficient in many of the vital nutrients we need; calcium, Vitamins A,D and E, saturated fats, Factor x..
A Traditional Human Diet is perfect for humans; grass fed meat, raw butter, meat broths, cage free eggs and chickens, vegetables, and small amounts of fruits and fermented foods lead to perfect health. Read more; http://optimumnutrition.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/vegetarian-diets-are-no...
