If I sound unimpressed with you quoting the summary of a study ( a
single one?, by whom?) you read its because in a few months I will
have been a vegetarian for 25 years.

Nutrition has been a hobby of mine in all that time as well.

I've seen nutrition scares, theories, special diets etc come and go
more frequently then women's fashions.

The only thing that has endured over that 25 years is my excellent
health as a tempeh eating vegetarian.

I'm sorry, you will just have to do better to get me concerned about
this issue.

No offense
