German Society for Paediatric & Adolescent Medicine: 'mothers with vegan or vegetarian diets need to take vit B12 supplements, preferably combined with other critical nutrients such as Fe, Zn, I, vit D & DHA .. to prevent serious clinical complications' ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
French Pediatric Hepatology/Gastroenterology/Nutrition Group: the 'craze for vegan diets has an effect on the pediatric population [It] does not provide all micronutrient requirements &exposes children to..deficiencies [that] can have serious consequences' ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31615715
'Maternal undernutrition [vitD/B12/Ca/DHA] may potentially alter fetal growth trajectory by modifying placental weight & nutrient transfer capacity...plant-based diets during pregnancy & lactation require a strong [nutritional] awareness'

@RosaSorribas Argentinian Hospital Nacional de Pediatría SAMIC: 'vitamin B12 deficiency is one of the most serious complications of vegetarianism and its variants. Infants born to vegan mothers are at greater risk of serious deficiency'

(and, therefore, EAT-Lancet).
@LouiseStephen9 @DMDent @BelindaFettke @GHGGuru @JoannaBlythman @zoeharcombe @bigfatsurprise @ProfTimNoakes @docmartincohen @fatisourfriend @CarnivoreIs @drsplace @Kenn_QBE For people thinking that EAT is a frivolous creation of a wealthy animal activist with wild ideas, buying in the experts she needs: it is not. EAT's origins go back to Strong's Stockholm conference & Earth Summit. Same players. Took some decades to bring the machine up to speed.

"Much of the country’s methane emissions come from animals that millions of poor people rely on for sustenance every day" Indeed, but what's also needed in the equation is the large potential for efficiency gains in India.

Veterinary care, breeding, herd & grazing management, feed interventions, increased C-seq, ... A 30% reduction in emissions can be achieved globally if the top-10% most efficient practices would be adopted. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30215340
According to FAO data, the enteric emission of methane emissions over the past 50 years has declined in industrialized nations (and not just per kg of beef, but even in total). Potential for further improvement is particularly high in India.

This must be a joke. And how exactly are mayors going to enforce a miserable, nutrient-deficient diet of grains & beans on their electorate? By promising Beyond Burgers as a culinary highlight? If I ever consider moving, these cities sure will be a no-no.
Make no mistake: *this* is on the menu. At least if C40Cities/UNEP/EAT/WRI have it their way.
Have a look at this incredible graph! 😱

This is what they have in mind for the world's beef consumption. The West can only maintain 10% of current levels. And are they really going to go to African cities and patronize them into *halving* their consumption within 10 years?

Recent case report published in @Nutrients_MDPI claims vegetarian #diet induced remission in Crohn’s disease and has been promoted as a “cure” by @gizmodo. (spoiler: there is no current cure for #IBD) 1/

The patient in this study had a colonoscopy which showed moderate Crohn’s disease. He was started on a biologic (infliximab) and “significantly” improved clinically but had ongoing symptoms (abdominal pain, fatigue, bloating). 3/

Thread. Please read if you have an #infant at home.

So this is a well-kept and potentially deadly secret about an industry that is growing exponentially and has spawned sexy, venture-funded #startups. The industry is #sleep. And the product is the #mattress. #parenting 1/n
Recently, we went #mattress shopping. After many trials (choosing a mattress is crazy stressful!) zeroed in on and placed an order at a prominent brand's store. It was a beautiful #memoryfoam mattress. I was drooling thinking of all the glorious #sleep I'd soon be getting. 2/n
I have had horrible body ache for years now thanks to our old #mattress that was handmade in Mumbai. I was so excited about buying this amazing new mattress that I did what anyone in my place would: obsessively Google memory-foam mattresses. 3/n

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
