New page
A small amount of information is provided regarding Vegetarianism and Veganism.

In [[FIGU_Bulletin_009#VEGETARIANISM|FIGU Bulletin 9]] the following is explained.
<blockquote>
Terrestrial scientists are increasingly confirming information and explanations provided by the Pleiadians/ Plejarans regarding the fact that an exclusively vegetarian diet is detrimental to the health of humans. A related newspaper clipping follows: 
 
Babies of '''vegetarians''' have vitamin deficiencies 
 
An infant's health suffers when the child's mother lives only on a vegetarian diet. This one-sided form of nutrition leads to serious developmental disorders in babies, a study by the Tübingen University Clinic for Children revealed. Results of tests performed on five infants, whose mothers were strict vegetarians, revealed that the babies suffered from vitamin B12 and other deficiencies. The babies also had severe growth disorders and anaemia.
</blockquote>

Additionally in [[Contact_Report_154|Contact Report 154]] the following is explained during a separate conversation about the dangers of leaked radioactive radiation in air in the context of food, lung cancer and smoking.
<blockquote>
'''Quetzal:''' 
52. That is of correctness, both your words about the concerns about food, nuclear use, and radioactivity, as well as the fact that criminal machinations are pursued, in order to make smoking pleasure primarily responsible for humanity's scourge of cancer through the use of false propaganda. 
53. Smoking pleasure is truly only to blame for this epidemic to a lesser extent, and such has been the case for a long time because the actual damages of smoking are of a different nature, such as in the areas of nerve damage and the asthmatizing<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthma</ref> of the respiratory organs, etc, as well as the impairment of blood circulation through deposits in the bloodstreams, etc. 
54. But all these phenomena of smoking pleasure are even lower, relatively seen, than the damages of the bodies and organs of human beings and their necessary physical developments, etc. by widespread '''vegetarianism''' as well as by the criminal pollutions and contaminations of foods and substances of vital importance of all kinds and the air, but also by released radioactivity. 
 
'''Billy:''' 
Then '''vegetarianism''' should be more harmful to human beings than an average amount of smoking? 
 
'''Quetzal:''' 
55. That is of very important correctness, but this shouldn't suggest that this means an animation for smoking pleasure. 
56. Smoking is harmful in every case, but often less harmful than other wrong actions and lifestyles.

 *3. Vitamin D deficiency. In the EPIC-Oxford study, vegans had the lowest mean intake of vitamin D (0.88 μg/d), a value one-fourth the mean intake of omnivores. For a vegan, vitamin D status depends on both sun exposure and the intake of vitamin D-fortified foods. Those living in areas of the world without fortified foods would need to consume a vitamin D supplement. Living at high latitudes can also affect one's vitamin D status, because sun exposure in that region is inadequate for several months of the year. Those who are dark skinned, elderly, who extensively cover their body with clothing for cultural reasons, and who commonly use sun protection are at an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency. Another matter of concern for vegans is that vitamin D2, the form of vitamin D acceptable to vegans, is substantially less bioavailable than the animal-derived vitamin D3.
-*4. Heme iron absorption is substantially higher than non-heme iron from plant foods. However, haemoglobin concentrations and the risk of iron deficiency anaemia are similar for vegans compared with omnivores and other vegetarians (70). Vegans often consume large amounts of vitamin C–rich foods that markedly improve the absorption of the nonheme iron. Serum ferritin concentrations are lower in some vegans, whereas the mean values tend to be similar to the mean values of other vegetarians but lower than the mean value for omnivores (71). The physiologic significance of low serum ferritin concentrations is uncertain at this time.

 *5. Vitamin B-12. Compared with ovo-lacto vegetarians and omnivores, vegans typically have lower plasma vitamin B-12 concentrations, higher prevalence of vitamin B-12 deficiency, and higher concentrations of plasma homocysteine. Elevated homocysteine has been considered a risk factor for CVD and osteoporotic bone fractures. Vitamin B-12 deficiency can produce abnormal neurological and psychiatric symptoms that include ataxia, psychoses, Paresthesia, disorientation, dementia, mood and motor disturbances, and difficulty with concentration. In addition, children may experience apathy and failure to thrive, and macrocytic anaemia is a common feature at all ages.

 *6. Zinc deficiency. Phytates, a common component of grains, seeds, and legumes, binds zinc and thereby decreases its bio-availability. However, a sensitive marker to measure zinc status in humans has not been well established, and the effects of marginal zinc intakes are poorly understood. Although vegans have lower zinc intake than omnivores, they do not differ from the non-vegetarians in functional Immunocompetence as assessed by natural killer cell cytotoxic activity. It appears however that there may be facilitators of zinc absorption and compensatory mechanisms to help vegetarians adapt to a lower intake of zinc.
