Vegetarians are less healthy and have a lower quality of life than meat-eaters, scientists say

[Anonymous No.5337708]

Vegetarians are less healthy than meat-eaters, a controversial study has concluded, despite drinking less, smoking less and being more physically active than their carnivorous counterparts.

A study conducted by the Medical University of Graz in Austria found that the vegetarian diet, as characterized by intake of fruits, vegetables and whole-grain products, appeared to carry elevated risks of cancer, allergies and mental health problems such as depression and anxiety.

What now vegan/vegfags? Time to get off your high horse of being 'healthy'

This study doesn't automatically mean if you eat meat, you're healthy.

It doesn't automatically mean if you're a vegetarian, you're unhealthy, or unhealthier than someone who isn't.

It does make you kind of dimwitted to make all these assumptions based on one study, though.

>It found that vegetarians consumed less alcohol and had lower body mass indexes, but were still in a poorer state of physical and mental health overall.
>Participants who ate less meat also showed a tendency to avoid attending doctors appointment for preventative measures such as vaccines

So these retards they found avoid doctors and don't do physical exercise, how is this related to vegetarianism?

This. It looks like someone didn't really read the news article.

>We did find that vegetarians suffer more from certain conditions like asthma, cancer and mental illnesses than people that eat meat as well, but we cannot say what is the cause and what is the effect.

>There needs to be further study done before this question can be answered.

It's pretty inconclusive honestly.

This study does not, in anyway, suddenly exclude you from being a vegetarian if you "get protein from elsewhere." Vegetarians are less healthy and have a lower quality of life. Period.

Here is another version about this one.
Notable difference: "Researchers at the Medical University of Graz who analysed interviews with more than 1,300 people found those with a meat-free diet were more likely to feel unhealthy and to think they had a poorer quality of life in terms of physical health, social relationships, and environmental factors."

Honestly enough that times of india article sounds a bit shit. Instead of saying "Studies indicate" or other such shit, it goes with more sensational "Vegetarians ARE..."

Op is a faggot who does not know how to read articles.

PS. Who knew that people with balanced diet are more healthy? Yet i believe idiots take from this that "hurrdurr meat is healthy, vegetables taste yucky and are baaaad"

They're more likely to THINK they're unhealthy. Not that they are.
