Will you rethink your views on how healthy vegetarian diets are after reading this scientific paper?Don't shoot the messenger here please. Scientific analysis and data is our best chance to understand what different foods and diets do to us, a group that are more susceptible to health problems. I will admit that the low carb thing has never seemed sensible to me but with this evidence will anyone be rethinking their decision?

Despite having lower BMIs and drinking less alcohol, vegetarians have "poorer health (higher incidences of cancer, allergies, and mental health disorders), a higher need for health care and poorer quality of life."
