Despite long-term researches in the field of vegetarianism, similar food for many still seems wrong and even harmful. Time to break popular delusions about harm of vegetarianism and to dispel doubts of those who only decided to become the vegan or the vegetarian came.
Myth 1: vegetarians don't receive enough protein
Knowing about division of a vegetarian diet into types, it is possible to understand with ease that ovo- and lacto-vegetarians use animal protein in the form of milk and eggs. Pesketariantsa also include fish in the diet. Vegans who eat only plant products are also not left without protein. Bean and grain contain necessary amount of protein for the normal growth and development of an organism. According to professor of department of food biochemistry of Cornell University Colin Campbell and his followers, vegetable protein not only is more useful, but also isn't dangerous to an organism unlike an animal at all. About it it is possible to read in his well-known book "Chinese Research".
Myth 2: in a vegetarian diet there aren't enough essential amino acids
The fact that vegetable products contain all essential amino acids long time was challenged. However it is only the next myth about vegetarianism. Since childhood inspired in us that for health it is necessary to drink milk and there is a meat. To make food balanced, it is enough to include in a diet more vegetables, fruit, cereals, bean and nuts. Disputes on the shortage of methionine in a plant food are solved the use of sunflower seeds of sesame, a Brazil nut and cereals.
Myth 3: vegetarians are more subject to anemia because of deficiency of B12 vitamin
At the beginning It is necessary to tell that B12 vitamin is only a product of synthesis of bacteria and directly it doesn't contain neither in meat, nor in vegetable products. Ovo- and lacto-vegetarians receive B12 vitamin at consumption of dairy products and eggs. However and to vegans you shouldn't resort to artificial additives to avoid problems with blood formation.
It is established that B12 vitamin, as well as amino acids, is capable to be synthesized independently in intestines with healthy microflora thanks to symbionts, such as colibacillus. And for this purpose the organism doesn't need to borrow protein chicken, a cow or a pig. For this reason upon transition to strict vegetarianism it is recommended to restore the microflora. According to doctor Vivienne V. Vetrano, B12 is also formed by means of the bacteria which are in a mouth of coenzymes.
Synthesis of vitamin is impossible without cobalt which contains in germinated wheat, bran, tea, cocoa, corn and buckwheat. Meat eaters are also not insured from deficiency by B12 at frustration of an alimentary system, gluten intolerance and a disease Krone. It should be noted that, mentioning meat as the only source of vitamin, doctors forget about red grapes, a grenade and beet in which is also available кобаламин, the providing B12 from cobalt.
Myth 4: vegetarians suffer from deficiency of iron
Each doctor knows that such important microcell as iron contains not only in meat products, but also in watermelon, swede, a Brussels sprout, a melon, paprika, a garden radish, radish, beet, tomatoes, spinach, plum, apples, dried apricots, raisin, nuts, black bread, grain and green vegetables. However for its assimilation it is necessary to include vitamin C in a diet. It is no secret that iron isn't acquired with tea, coffee and dairy products.
Myth 5: vegetarians lack phosphorus
According to the widespread myth the fish isn't an exclusive source of phosphorus. The microcell contains in eggs and milk, and for vegans phosphorus in enough is in haricot, lentil, a cauliflower, a celery, a garden radish, pumpkin, carrots, parsley, whole cereals, sunflower seeds, nuts and soy. However because of phytoestrogen the last product isn't recommended to use in large numbers. Therefore because of food the vegetarians have no problems with mental activity. As proof it is enough to it to find the complete list of scientists, doctors, writers, philosophers and engineers who carried out the most part of life on a vegetarian diet.
Myth 6: vegetarianism provokes deficiency of vitamin D
It is established that vitamin D level in an organism is least of all caused by type of food of the person. And its synthesis directly depends on quantity of the acquired tan.
Myth 7: vegetarianism leads to a lack of vitamin A
Besides meat, eggs and milk, vitamin A or beta carotene contains in green and orange vegetables and fruit. It is worth remembering that it won't be acquired without products containing fat. Therefore surely it is worth including any vegetable oil in the diet.
Myth 8: pregnant women and children have to eat meat
From above the disproved myths it is possible to draw a conclusion that at the correct selection of products all necessary vitamins and minerals will be present at vegetable food even of the most strict vegetarians. And here consumption of meat, eggs and milk (chest it isn't counted) not only isn't useful, but also extremely hazardously to health growing organism because of hormones and antibiotics which pump up animals. The doctor Herbert Shelton repeatedly said that meat products aren't recommended to be entered into a diet of children before 8 years because their organism isn't capable to neutralize toxins yet.
Myth 9: the person from the birth a predator is also omnivorous
Natural food of the person still causes a lot of a controversy. However an important point is here that even if the person also is capable to digest meat in the processed look whether then so it is necessary for life to justify the not ethics.
The famous vegan Gary Yurovski as an experiment with nature of the person suggested to place apple and a live rabbit before the 2-year-old child. And if the kid eats an animal and will play with fruit, then Gary recognizes the mistake and will try steak.
