I have a problem when articles dont site sources / peer reviewed medical science.

Many vegetarians also struggle to get enough protein, iron, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and calcium which are essential for health. One study found that vegetarians had approximately five percent lower bone-mineral density (BMD) than non-vegetarians.

"One study" Ok - what study? How many people participated? How old is the study? What was the demographic? Was it done at base line? Etc.. No data. Just swinging 'facts' around with a rusty spoon.

This is real science literature - happening now. Unbiased and factual. Objective reasoning. What we should be listening to in regards to nutrition.

nutritionfacts.org.

OK, that's fair.

However the tenor of the article isn't one of some barely science savvy journo leaping on a report and doom-mongering about the deadly dangers of some foodstuff that is then propped up as classic and essential to our national identity. Don't worry, I'm sure the Daily Mail will be along to parlay this into something properly sensationalistic.

Indeed. The press do like headlining these one off studies that 'prove' 'facts'
