| Vegans are 43 percent more likely to suffer bone fractures, study shows |
| 2020-11-24 |
| [NYPOST] Vegans may be significantly more likely to develop bone fractures than meat-eaters, a new study revealed. The large, longitudinal study published Sunday in the journal BMC Medicine, revealed that there were 19.4 more cases of fractures in vegans and 4.1 more cases in vegetarians for every 1,000 people over 10 years. “This is the first comprehensive study and the largest study to date to look at the risks of both total fractures (fractures occurring anywhere in the body) and fractures at different sites in people of different habitual dietary habits,” the study’s lead author, Tammy Tong, a nutritional epidemiologist at the Nuffield Department of Population Health at the University of Oxford, said in an email to CNN. Researchers recruited nearly 55,000 healthy adults from the UK — meat eaters, pescatarians, vegetarians and vegans — to answer a questionnaire on diet, socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle, and medical history between 1993 and 2001, and followed up with them in 2010. By 2016, the study authors found 3,941 total fractures among the participants. |

| #8 I like the ones who won't eat honey as evidently honey bees are often tortured, raped, and murdered in the processing of honey. Honey combs are veritable death camps in some of their minds. |

| #5 I could care less if someone wants to eat a bale of hay everyday just as I could care less if someone wants steak and eggs for breakfast. But there appear to be zealots on both sides of the herbivore-carnivore "debate", each side quite obnoxious at times. The real vicious ones are vegans who attack former vegans. |

| #1 Maybe more athletic and, hence, more prone to injury than, say, that fat slob in Illinois, Pritzker? Or another slob, Chris Christie? |
