Study cannot say diet causes depression but researchers say ‘little is known’ about the relationship and call for more research


Following a vegetarian diet could increase a person’s chances of suffering symptoms of depression, according to a new analysis.

The authors suggest that “nutritional deficiencies” could account for “significant depressive symptoms” found in participants calling themselves vegan or vegetarian.

This could include deficiencies in key fats and nutrients that meat is rich in, like Vitamin B12, according to researchers from the University of Bristol and the US-based National Institutes of Health.

The paper is based on re-analysis of data from an older study, conducted in 1992 with around 10,000 expectant fathers in Avon, Devon, of which only 350 men were vegetarians.

Re: LOL

it's actually "common knowledge" that vegans have a very hard time hitting all the various vitamins needed to be healthy because they refuse to eat meat. (granted meat eaters also have problems because they consume to much meat or don't eat enough vegies)

on average vegans have an elevated risk of depression.

But here is the thing there are also other factors that increased the risk of depression, for example: people above the average IQ have an increase risk of getting depressions in their life (there is direct and provable connection with people of a higher than average intellect and depression)

FAVORITISM. Favoritism towards old western diets. I HATE when people bring in biased information just to push their own agenda, that's such a hyper controlling attitude. God that ticks me, especially when they KNOW what they're doing and just trying to prove a point to you just because THEY feel insecure about something.So much favoritism.

And lmao, I rather be depressed than eat the body parts of an animal that was once breathing. I'd rather not.

You know exactly what you're doing. Stop manipulating the masses.

The extremities they go through just to cut up meat and package them. And people out there f*ck and ejaculate in animals too...I'd never trust it.Living, breathing, f*cking animals.

When they run out of cows, chickens, goats, etc...they'll go to rats, birds, etc...when that ain't working, they go to the next level. That's what a meat eater is.

And I don't identify as vegetarian or vegan. Nor do I worship or care about animals, but I have RESPECT for them, just as I don't care for people, but have RESPECT for them.

People of higher intellect tend to be a little more self absorbed.

I think people who are super uptight about their INTAKE or super careless...are the one's who struggle with deficiencies.Simple as that.

Still not an excuse to eat meat. Super unnecessary.

Re: LOLVegetarians more likely to show signs of depression?

This is intellectually lazy. This is not a peer reviewed medical study with a metanalysis, it's a half-assed hitpiece based off a sociology study that has such loose experiment criteria and control, the article has enoufh sense to express that the data is inconclusive and unviable in itself. There is no recordings of caloric intake, blood pressure analysis, psychoanalysis, or any sort of objective forms of analysis for this article to even exist, but what more do you expect from the Lamestream media.

Literally the first paragraph of your article;
"Study cannot say diet causes depression but researchers say ‘little is known’ about the relationship and call for more research"

Midway through the article, in reference to the study;
"But it cannot suggest that vegetarianism caused these depressive traits, or the other way around, without a more controlled experiment"


And finally, the piece de resistance that throws this entire article put the window;
"Men classed as vegetarian had a lower consumption of sausages, burgers, meat pies, meat, poultry, liver and white fish... a higher proportion of vegans reported eating red meat than those who called themselves vegetarians"

What the **** are these "vegetarians and vegans" doing eating any sort of meat? This is a malformed study with little objective basis that would be scoffed at and mocked by any sort of certified researcher or clinical healthcare professional.
