Going veggie shrinks the brain
"SCIENTISTS have discovered that going veggie could be bad for your brain - with those on a meat-free diet six times more likely to suffer brain shrinkage......"
Just a piece of shoddy journalism and nothing more. The authors of the study tried to ink that a vegetarian diet actually implies that a person is not taking adequate amount of Vitamin B12 which is vital for the brain development during childhood and maintenance of neural function thereafter. Yet the newspaper simply forgets that and directly implicates vegetarian diet for brain atrophy. The scientists here have proved nothing more than that Vitamin B12 is vital important for brain which is a fact I have been learning since my 7th grade. I wonder what vested interests would the journalist have to twist this study and try to imply something which the study does not even hint at.
