A couple of months ago, a cool study came out that showed vegetarians are more likely to have a brain shrinkage as they age. The reason is due to vitamin B12, which is mainly found in animal foods.
Furthermore, no one in the study actually had vitamin B12 deficiency, which means that merely getting the recommended amount is not good enough. A couple of posts down I talked a brain deterioration, so I guess an addendum to that post would be: EAT YOUR MEAT!

Long-time no see
Whew, it's been a while since I have updated the blog. Shame on me! Anyways, I hope to start updating more frequently from now on.
For now, I have a site that I would like to add to the mix: Lyle McDonald's, Body Recomposition.
This site is filled with such good content. In particular, I would point to his discussion on insulin and fat loss. While Gary Taubes and Mark from "Mark's Daily Apple" have a lot of good things to say, this is an article that they should read as they both go too far with the whole "insulin is solely to blame for fat gain" hypothesis.
