I was sent this report from a vegan acquaintance who dearly wants to convert me to the faith.
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0088278&type=printable
They said that the news channel they were watching today was announcing Veganuary 2020, and that the science proof that it is healthier than a normal mixed diet had been published in PLOS One, and this was the proof I had been asking for.
Obviously they had either not read this report, OR they did not understand what it was saying. After all it was in PLOS One which is normally pro vegetarian, so must be right. right? Nope. It has only strengthened my resolve to remain an omnivore.
However with Greggs launching the Steak Bake and Cornish Pastie range that is 100% vegan compatible, and the warning that they will also soon be launching cream cakes and eclaires that have no animal product in them may restrict my choice a bit. It is also not clear if these substitutes will be marked as meatfree, or if normal supplies will be provided for those like me who desire the full Monty.
So, I repeat the question I raise so many times in situations like this - does anyone have some real science evidence that supports the claim that vegetarian is healthier for me as a T2D on Orals. *I would have posted thi into the thread I started specifically to discuss that question , but it was closed down. So no discussion allowed on this, merely any links to reports.
