Vegetarian Diet Linked To Depressive Episodes In Adults, Per New Study
Plant-based diets have been all the rage lately and we're told by multiple experts, documentaries, and celebrities that it's better for our health and environment to go vegan. But a recent study from Brazil suggests otherwise. Abstaining from meat can actually worsen mental health.
The vegan diet may be touted as a healthy alternative to animal products like meat, eggs, and dairy, but more and more research is coming out to show that a meatless diet isn't exactly the best thing for health and longevity. After Robert Downey, Jr. switched to a vegan diet, fans couldn't help but notice that he looks sick, emaciated, and not at all like himself. There are also many stories of transformation featuring everyday women or celebrities, like Miley Cyrus, who used to be plant-based and end up feeling and looking much better after they switched back to eating meat. It turns out there is research from Brazil confirming their experience.
