I particularly like the coeliac references as this is an area I deal with in practice quite a bit, and as mentioned before, I see many of these patients with higher levels of anxiety overall - even in those whose CD is relatively silent so I don't think the anxiety is driven by the effect of symptoms.<br /><br />I am always a little troubled by some of these studies that do a comparison between vegetarianism/veganism and those who follow an omnivoric-type diet. There are so many possible (probable) drivers behind these associations that it is dangerously simplistic to say the differences are due to the eschewing of meat from the diet. I tend to look for similarities between groups rather than differences. So it could be that eating lots of fruits, vegetables, and nuts, and living in line with a values system is more protective against depression and not have anything to do with meat at all! (spot the meat eater here - and a happy one to boot!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045634714760830992.post-82742320283333722302010-06-26T16:37:00.661-04:002010-06-26T16:37:00.661-04:00I really wish they had done a lipid profile of the...I really wish they had done a lipid profile of the red blood cells of those Seventh Day Adventists!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429177284200775781noreply@blogger.com
