And now I have cancer. :`(
WHY DIDN'T SOMEBODY WARN ME?!?!?
> Long term vegetarian diet changes human DNA raising risk of cancer and heart disease
by Sarah Knapton
ong term vegetarianism can lead to genetic mutations which raise the risk of heart disease and cancer, scientists have found.
Populations who have had a primarily vegetarian diet for generations were found to be far more likely to carry DNA which makes them susceptible to inflammation.
Scientists in the US believe that the mutation occured to make it easier for vegetarians to absorb essential fatty acids from plants.
But it has the knock-on effect of boosting the production of arachidonic acid, which is linked to inflammatory disease and cancer. When coupled with a diet high in vegetable oils - such as sunflower oil - the mutated gene quickly turns fatty acids into dangerous arachidonic acid.
The finding may help explain previous research which found vegetarian populations are nearly 40 per cent more likely to suffer colorectal cancer than meat eaters, a finding that has puzzled doctors because eating red meat is known to raise the risk.

Never heard anyone say "eat a balanced diet" before, anon?

Probably due to these bullshit threads. I have cancer now too. Thanks OP.

You mean the amino acid that eggs contain in large amounts?
>When coupled with a diet high in vegetable oils
Shill study spotted. The only thing this study is saying is that vegetarians shouldn't consume a lot of vegetable oils - which is true for anyone interested in being healthy. Vegetable oils are junk food and anyone who's done their research should know this. A whole foods, plant based diet is still the optimal diet for human health and prevention of disease.
I briefly searched for the actual study and found mainly blogs jerking off over a couple quotes with no link to the actual study and headlines like "eating meat prevents cancer". If you ever wondered how easy it is to confuse idiots, wonder no more.
