Meaty Nutrients Hold The Keys To Happiness

I take a lot of flak for pointing out that the vegan lifestyle leads to gloom and doom, but I don’t care — because I’m right, and yet another study backs me up.

Researchers have found that seniors with the highest levels of two critical B vitamins are also the least likely to battle depression.

Which two B vitamins? The same ones I’ve been telling you about for years: B6 and B12, which come naturally from a diet high in meats and fish.

Researchers looked at data on some 3,500 seniors in Chicago, and found that depression risk dropped by 2 percent for every 10-milligram increase in vitamin B6 and 10-microgram increase in B12.

The researchers behind this new study say the benefits came from supplements — but I’ll tell you what’s really going on here. Most people simply don’t get large enough amounts of these nutrients from food to make a difference.

You can change that, starting tonight, by putting liver on the menu. It’s packed with B12, and is a pretty good source of B6 too. Forget two birds with one stone — you want two livers a week.

You’ll get the rest of your B’s from a diet rich in meat and fish. You can also get B6 from potatoes, but let’s face it — no one’s ever gotten healthy by going overboard on spuds.

Happy vegans, save your hate mail — I’ve already responded to you. “Vegans angry over poisoned soy burgers”. Those of you who claim you’re happy on a meat-free diet are either lying to me or lying to yourself — or you’re a statistical freak, like the occasional 400-pound pumpkin.

Here’s what you should do, right now, to cure your affliction: Fry a liver in some lard. You’re a vegan, so add some onions to the mix. Take a bite (of the liver, that is — I don’t care if you eat the onions)… and don’t look back.

You seem to forget that most of us non beef eaters are not vegan. The vegan lifestyle is pure stupidity from a health standpoint except to combat some serious diseases for a relatively short period.
I have been mainly red meat free except to taste someones cooking for 35 years. I still eat fish and chicken for protein and vitamins. So you can have your high blood pressure medications , your diabetes , and the rest of your meat caused afflictions you mad cow ( wasn't that a bit worse than soy burgers), all the while raising my insurance premiums from your claims, while I continue to stay healthy. By the way ,you can get b-6 and 12 from many other sources.

I seem to forget? Was I somehow supposed to know that some of you don't eat beef?

Personally, I don't think red meat is a bad thing, in general. It's FACTORY FARMED MASS PRODUCED red meat that's bad. I eat a pound of high quality grass fed ground beef every week. I have for years, and will continue to.

BTW - I take no meds at all, at age 59. Saturated fats are the healthiest fats, IMHO.

For the person built for it, the meat diet is a good one. Saturated fat is good, just so it's not hydrogenated.

Don't forget your eggs and coconut, too.

But this is not a 'one diet fits all' plan. You have to analyze your type to determine the best diet for you.

I'm glad I'm a 'protein' type.
 
What study is he citing? Not citing a source is as good as talking out of your behind. Also, what's the directionality of the findings?

:) I looked for that but all I could find on his site were promotions for books and other merchandise available for sale.
 
One more thing. Guess what the precursor to serotonin is? If you said tryptophan then pat yourself on the back. I'm glad you asked where tryptophan is most abundant. The answer is soy.

Just in case people don't know what serotonin is, it's the neurotransmitter that is responsible for making people feel happy. A lack of it can result in depression.

But then you would have to eat tofu, or some other soy product... 9 times out of 10 that makes me disappointed and wish I was eating something with texture and flavour like good quality meat...

I'm not a big fan of tofu, it seems like a filler to me as it has almost no appeal as a stand alone ingredient. It has to be sauced or marinated or something done to it. Its Ok in a peanut sauce stir fry or something but its just there to take up space IMO and absorb a flavour.
I'd usually rather have something else in its nutritional place.
 
There's soy milk, soy ice cream, soy cheese, etc lol.

Fried tofu is good. One of my favorite dishes my mom makes includes tofu. I don't know what you eat but almost everything I eat needs some sort of seasoning including meat.
 
I like all food put it in front of me and I will eat it . Not out of the box refined artificial flavoring sweeteners MSG etc. give me real food .
 
can't believe that any men are eating soy anything!

Don't you guys read?

Soy is an excellent source of estrogen. Smart men don't eat much of that.

What does tofu taste like pan seared with just a dash of salt and pepper? Not particularly appetizing I imagine?
Pastured tamworth pork chop on the other hand? A dash of salt and pepper is all you need to have an amazing piece of protein and high quality omega 3 and 6 rich fat

I think soy stuff does have its place as a less expensive protein source, but I think everytime, the real product tastes better and is better for you. Maybe not cheap horomone and antibiotic "enhanced" meat and milk but I don't eat that stuff anyways.

I agree. Good reply.

I eat 2 to 3 gallons of coconut oil per year. Have been for about 10 years.
