It is extremely essential - you die without it. But it is NOT true that you only get it from meat! Dairy products and eggs are great sources - no need to worry if you include those in your diet. Strict vegans need to take yeast fortified with B12 or supplements.\n\nThere is, however, a condition called pernicious anemia that is fairly common, especially in older people, where you lose the ability to absorb B12 in your stomach. You can eat meat, take supplements, and still have a disabling lack of B12 in your system. In that case the B12 must be given in a way that bypasses the stomach, usually as injections, but one can also use tiny tablets that are absorbed under the tongue. There is no way to get enough B12 through your diet if you have this condition.

Absolutely..you don't have to be "vegan", (no meat or diary), but a diet of fruits, vegetables and free range poultry and fish is the only hope for a healthy body. \nWe should also eat only certified organic foods.\n\nThe food we eat today is not real food..it's genetically modified in food labs and is making us fat, creating sickness and disease and addictions.\n\nMeat today is so full of terribly bad things nothing can cook it out (read "Fast Food Nation" or "Supersize Me")..they tell us it's okay though - when we get sick, we can take medicine that is also filled with poisonous chemicals, additives and other fillers that will only mask our symptoms and create problems to other organs in our bodies down the line...then, we can get medicine for that...and the cycle continues...

Have you thought about Arbonne International? It's an excellent opportunity, but it's NOT a get-rich-quick scheme! It DOES take work. It's a European Health & Wellness company that's been around for 26 years, but is just now starting to take off. It's taking the country by storm!  The products are phenomenal...herbally and botanically based, never tested on animals or contain animal products or by-products (vegan approved), no mineral oil, and MANY more unique characteristics.  My team's marketing strategy does NOT include giving home parties (who has time?). It's worth your time to check it out. Check out the link and e-mail me if you’d like more information.  Good luck with whatever you choose!

There are no scietific references to dietary supplements.\nPay no attention to all this quackery.\nUse reliable medical/scientific advice:

I do not have any personal experience with this product but a little web research lead to some interesting findings.\n\nFirst, this product appears to consist of vitamins, minerals, fish oils, some herbs and some related nutrients.  Many of these basic nutrients play important roles in brain function and health, but whether the quantities and quality of these items in this product will benefit brain function and memory in the majority of people is unproven.  \n\nSecond, according to the website "Consumeraffairs.com", "The Federal Trade Commission obtained a $1 million settlement from the firm in 2004.  Prosecutors charged them with making unsubstantiated claims for their products."\n\nUsually products like this, that are highly promoted on TV (expensive!) are too expensive (over priced) and promoted with excessive claims (the FTC settlement).  It may be wiser and more cost effective to just take a quality multi-vitamin/mineral supplement (from your local health food store - not Centrum or One-A-Day, which are the 'junk-food' of vitamin supplements) and a quality fish oil supplement and/or cod liver oil.\n\nYou might consider reading an excellent book on this subject by David Perlmutter, M.D., Board certified Neurologist and recipient of the Linus Pauling Award in Medicine.  The book is called: "The Better Brain Book" and it is available at Amazon.com.  You will learn a lot about the role of basic nutrients in brain health as well as info. about special nutrients (lipoic acid, CoQ10, NAC, etc.) from this book.\n\nHope this was helpful.

B12 is the one vitamin that is unavilable to a vegan diet. And those who are vegan, must eat B12 supplemented food. But since you are vegetarian, dairy products will give you enough B12!

Do you mean breakfast? \n\nFruit is always a good choice. It will provide energy and nurishment. If you like bananas, go for those! Perhaps some fruit juice like orange juice or grapefruit juice.\n\nAs for lunch- since you are a vegetarian, I would suggest something simple and nonpershiable- like peanut butter and jelly. Bring some carrot sticks and an apple with you. (a juice box, too)\n\nGood luck on your exam. \n\nPS the carrots are "brain food"

Isoflavonoids are a class of flavonoids that are derived in the human diet mainly from soybean-based foods. The major dietary isoflavonoids, genistein and daidzein, have estrogen-like activity and are classed as phytoestrogens. Because estrogens can lower serum LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol, the objective of this study was to determine if isoflavonoids could improve serum lipids in healthy subjects. Forty-six men and 13 postmenopausal women not receiving hormone replacement therapy completed a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of two-way parallel design and 8 wk duration. One tablet containing 55 mg of isoflavonoids (predominantly in the form of genistein) or one placebo tablet was taken daily with the evening meal. Subjects maintained their usual diet and physical activity, which were unchanged throughout the intervention. Measurement of isoflavonoids and their metabolites in 24-h urine samples provided an assessment of compliance and of isoflavonoid metabolism. Serum total, LDL, HDL and HDL subclass cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoprotein (a) were assessed at baseline and during the last week of intervention. After adjustment for baseline values, no significant differences in postintervention serum lipid and lipoprotein (a) concentrations between groups were identified. Further adjustment for age, gender and weight change did not alter the results. In addition, changes in urinary isoflavonoids were not significantly correlated with changes in serum lipids and lipoprotein (a). Therefore, this study does not support the hypothesis that isoflavonoid phytoestrogens can improve the serum lipids, at least in subjects with average serum cholesterol concentrations.\n\nThe chemical structure of isoflavones is very similar to that of our own estrogen. Because of this similarity in structure, isoflavones can interfere with the action of our own estrogen. Sometimes isoflavones will reduce the effects of estrogen because they compete with the same receptor sites on our cells. Some of the risks of excess estrogen can be lowered in this way.\n\nIsoflavones can also increase the estrogen activity. If during menopause the body's natural level of estrogen drops, isoflavones can compensate this by binding to same receptor sites, thereby easing menopause symptoms as a result. The best way to consume isoflavones is in the form soy or soyfoods, so you can benefit from other healthy components of soy. Soy contains many types of isoflavones, but the most beneficial are genistein (see picture) and daidzein. The highest amounts of isoflavones can be found in soy nuts and tempeh. Isoflavones are fairly stable. Under normal cooking conditions, isoflavones are not destroyed.\n\n\n\ntannin, tannic acid, or gallotannic acid, astringent vegetable product found in a wide variety of plants. Sources include the bark of oak, hemlock, chestnut, and mangrove; the leaves of certain sumacs; and plant galls. Tannin is also present in tea, coffee, and walnuts. A solution of tannic acid is obtained from one of these natural sources by extraction with hot water; in particular, gallotannic acid is obtained from plant gall. Tannin varies somewhat in composition, having the approximate empirical formula C76H52O46. Tannic acid is a colorless to pale yellow solid; it is believed to be a glucoside in which each of the five hydroxyl groups of the glucose molecule is esterified with a molecule of digallic acid. Tannin is used in tanning animal skins to make leather; it transforms certain proteins of animal tissue into compounds that resist decomposition. It is also used in manufacturing inks, as a mordant in dyeing, and in medicine as an astringent and for treatment of burns.

I don't exactly know but there is that commercial about Dr. Berstein and I have heard that he /or his assistants give mega boosts Vit B12 as well as follow a diet..\nDon't remember the details but didn't hear anything nice about it......like you can't get your money back if you say it does not work....\nHeard it was very expensive..\nHope someone who went through this will explain you more.\nHe has a bad reputation now here.

This is probably not feasible for humans.\nGenerally, herbivores spend most of their waking life eating. Many have specialised guts to get the necessary nutrients from their food.\nFor humans the most difficult nutrients to get in a vegetarian diet are the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids. Vegans get around this problem by including many varieties of seeds and nuts. Lacto-vegetarians get the essential amino acids and fatty acids from eggs and dairy products.\nNote: 'essential' means that our body cannot make it so it must be in the food we eat.

Yes. Plants and animals have a soul. Why would humans be the only ones with a soul.\n\nGuess vegetarians are also commiting murder! \n"SAVE THE PLANTS"
