In a recent article, a Harvard doctor argues that meat is essential for mental health, going against scientific research that links red and processed meat to various diseases. The doctor suggests that vegans may miss out on essential nutrients, but research shows that a well-planned vegan diet can provide all necessary nutrients. Studies supporting meat-eating were found to have questionable funding sources, casting doubt on their credibility.
On the other hand, numerous studies suggest that a healthy, varied vegan diet offers the most benefits for brain health and mood. Research shows that diets high in processed, high-sugar, and high-fat foods, as well as red and processed meats, can lead to inflammation, which is linked to various health issues including cognitive disorders and depression. Overall, evidence points towards a vegan diet being best for both body and brain health.
