A few hours of research into the mortality of British vegetarians has turned up some interesting facts. People that eat fish, but not usually meat, live the longest, followed by vegetarians and occasional meat eaters (tied for second place) with Vegans and heavy meat consumers both having the shortest life spans (again a tie).
The Seventh Day Adventist study concluded that the veggies were healthier because of overall healthier eating patterns, eating more fruit, veg, nuts and legumes, and that it was unlikely to be not eating flesh that was the reason for their better health. A British study into the mortality of vegetarians concluded the same thing, pointing out that vegetarians were also from a better social class and had a healthier lifestyle generally.
If you want to disagree with me feel free, but please provide sources for stats or facts. I'm into a diet research phase, and I need some one to bicker constructively with.
If any one wants links, I'll paste them up.
