Vegetarians might have higher risk of stroke than meat eaters, study says - CNN
Damned if you do and damned if you dont I guess.
Honestly I think a lot of this stuff is a result of PhD candidates running out of ideas for dissertations. It seems a lot of this kind of rather sketchy research is being done. And the impact on us is that we have to check the news to find out if coffee, bacon, red meat, anchovies, lettuce etc. are safe for us to eat today.
I think our genes, lifestyle, and attitude about things probably dictate our well being more than anything else. Meanwhile our bodies tell us how we're feeling and periodic blood tests go a long way to inform us of our general health. Otherwise, personally I think we should indulge in processed foods very sparingly and otherwise eat what we want.
