Vegans and fractures

[Bald Rick]

Long term Oxford University study - 55,000 volunteers of which 2,000 are vegans looked at over 18 years - concluded that there is a 43% higher risk of fractured bones, especially in the hip region, on a vegan diet compared to meat and dairy eating.

Vegans at higher risk of broken bones, new study suggests

VEGANS are more likely to suffer a fracture than those who include meat and fish in their diet, according to new research.

Conclusion strong bones from drinking milk

The OFC should run that subject as their headline seminar. Invite their student union rep to speak on behalf of their beef ban.
edit: or is it simply that a vegan is 43% more likely to be thumped ?

Who'd have thought it

 

[holwellcourtfarm]

Today's Times carried it on the front page

Interestingly the report finds that even vegetarians and pescatarians show a significant bone break risk increase.

More to do with the fact most of them are skeletons

43% more likely not to get up.

hips probably worn out by years of imbalanced walking due to the massive chip on the shoulders.

So it took a team of (presumably well educated folk) Oxford students and professors to reach this startling conclusion?!

My apologies, but No sh!t Sherlock!

18 years of detailed research. This is the sort of stuff that our industry needs though ... it is difficult to argue against

Absolutely. I wonder what the Vague ones come-back will be against the research tho?!

And you're not exactly comparing like for like either, I think it's fair to say that your average vegan probably has a less robust lifestyle than average.

 

[Chris F]

Funny that its an Oxford Uni bit of research.

And eating steak

I was about to point out that you don't meet many vegans at the rugby club and I don't suppose they are into wrestling, boxing etc.

You would have thought they could have found an xray of a broken bone rather than a knee replacement.

I think many vegans have plenty exercise but they will be lacking calcium in their diet and more likely to be underweight which means thinner bones.

Do you think they (Oxford) will actually listen to it though as they don’t listen to myles Allen

Oddly enough veganism is quite popular among sports people including Venus and Serena Williams, Virat Kohli and David Haye the boxer to say nothing of our favourite F1 star
