As an interesting side note, though not mentioned in this article,
the German study they talk about found that vegans did not
live as long as vegetarians:
From the German study:
The monitored group had an average of 59 deaths for every 100 deaths in the
general population during the period, results obtained from age-specific
comparisons with the general population over five-year intervals showed.
But the study also revealed that completely avoiding meat does not make for
the healthiest diet: within the group, for every 100 deaths among vegans,
there were 66 among vegetarians and 60 among occasional meat eaters.
