Thinking of going vegan? Read this first.
This article is about B-12, and features my new best friend: the concept of bio-availability.

We often discuss the -- well -- fanaticism of vegans. Their drive to eliminate the Cycle of Life via a twisted form of ethics is baffling. Especially to low carbers who have discovered how much better their health becomes while eating a lot of animal foods. I believe this is a belief system, not anything based in science, no matter what propaganda they churn out. In addition, I believe a lot of them are suffering from a lack of B vitamins in general, and B-12 in particular. Quote:
I've seen a lot of plant-based pushback against the statistic which states 84% of vegans go back to eating meat, but then, both vegans and vegetarians have mental gymnastics associated with their dietary habits. In a favorite article, We Must Reclaim Human Health, Sustainability, Environmental Justice, And Morality From The Birdseed Brigade, J Stanton shares the results of a paper: Quote:
Which fits right in with my own dietary discussion, both in person and online, where "healthy eaters" like to tell me, "I'm practically vegetarian!" Well, in actual practice, that means they do a lot of grains and beans and dry chicken breasts. They avoid slabs of the deadly red meat. Just as they have been told. The kind of people who never say "fat" as a foodstuff, they say "artery-clogging fat." Quote:
Fatigue, memory problems, and the depression/anxiety cycle can come from low B-12. I find this ironic because this is often when people decide "I gotta get healthy" and go vegan. As discussed in another post, where I read a memoir of a woman who did just that, and had to go for radical, experimental treatment, for a severe worsening of her chronic depression. Such a link!

Of course they can supplement! Of course they should! But B-12 can ONLY come from animal sources. So if they want to live: they aren't really vegans at all. |
Just a small amount of beef to get daily supply of B12.
Its rather amazing how many people are starving .....lacking full, healthful levels of important nutrients. |
Comparing nutrient levels of beef and bread is shocking. Yet I’ve never seen an article discussing that except from low carb sources.

I just read the other day that anyone taking Metformin should supplement because it depletes the body of B-12.

Dr . ______ lists out the nutritive value of an extensive list of foods , and all bread and pasta gets a NEGATIVE number ! It steals away and uses up nutrients. Shocker! |

It seems inevitable to conclude some people are being made more cranky and slow on the uptake!?!” |
Potential vegans should have to read this article.

These meat haters are a very small percentage of the population. NO WAY they are having this much influence without corporate money pushing it.

My italics, because there IS science showing otherwise. But just like ALL cult thinking, facts mean nothing when there is BELIEF. There is nothing sane nor ethical about it; especially when you consider how heavily processed these foods are. And how many digestive issues they have eating them! |
Quote:
I also forgot to write that when you consider a vegan taking Metformin, it must be super bad because they are already deficient in b-12 from their diet and then add to that the med. which depletes it further, so it's probably a severe deficiency for that group of people. |

Like many of us, I don't need convincing. I am an omnivore becaus:
There have been only a few studies that have extended the lives of lab animals (including primates). One is the introduction of Acetyl L-Carnitine and Alpha Lipoic acid into the diets (the vegan Alpha Linoleic does not do it). Another is extreme caloric restriction and a third is a supplement called NAD+ For me good reasons to eat meat. Bob |
Yep, Zoe nails it in significant detail.

It's also about their FEELINGS :lol: They just don't want us eating ribeyes because it would hurt their feelings... |
Some (definitely not all but too many) vegans are like religious fanatics. They want everybody to live by their rules with complete disregard to others with opposing viewpoints.
If a vegan tells me they don't eat anything that abuses animals, I will tell them bees are abused to fertilize your veggies by being trucked from farm to farm to fertilize the monoculture of a factory farming complex. :D (not really, I just ignore them) Bob |
I also love those vegans who won't eat meat, but will gladly tote around a leather handbag or satchel ... the list goes on and on.
