Thanks - but I'd have quoted also:

'Asked to comment on the findings, John C. Mathers, PhD, noted that they
clearly confirm the importance of not reading any biomarker result in
isolation.

Health is complex and individual markers tell you just part of the
story," said Mathers, of the Human Nutrition Research Centre, Newcastle
University, UK.'

and especially:

'He says a vegetarian diet can be nourishing but cautioned that "just
because someone excludes meat from their diet does not mean necessarily
that they will be eating a healthy diet."'

Of course not, and we all know we are supposed to cut down our meat
intake and increase our veg.

It's a funny thing, when I was previously eating all sorts of rubbish
but included (processed) meat, eggs and dairy (dairy till my doctor
advised against it), no one (here) seemed interested in my diet /
health. As soon as I started excluding the exploitation of animals
from my diet, everyone (well the trolls especially) suddenly became
concerned about my diet and my health, even though I was actually
eating better (less meat, more fruit and veg).

A year+ later, I've lost some weight, still feel as fit and don't have
the guilt of the animal exploitation hanging over my head that I now
realise has been there for a good few years now. ;-(
