In a joint statement, Italian pediatric societies discourage vegan/vegetarian diets as inadequate for the correct neuro-psycho-motoric development of infants & children, whereby lack of B12, iron, and DHA can cause irreversible damage aleph2020.org/human-health/r…
Le #DieteVegane e vegetariane vengono sconsigliate dalle quattro società più importanti di nutrizione pediatrica in Italia. La loro posizione è chiara: le #DieteVegetariane e vegane non sono adeguate a consentire un corretto e fisiologico sviluppo neuro-cognitivo nel bambino.

Obviously; milk is result of millions of years of nutritional evolution while plant-based waters exist solely to push an almost entirely misleading environmental narrative (and £). Not so much comparing apples with oranges as apples with tennis balls. telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/07…

Comparto un excelente reportaje en ocasión del #DiaEuropeoDeLaLana, con la participación de @TrashumanciayN, y con una importante reclamación: que se vea la lana como un recurso importantísimo, entre otras cosas, para luchar contra los #microplasticos youtu.be/nXfkDeXm8cQ

I have a serious problem with the term “pre-diabetes.” The prefix “pre” is used to describe what comes before something. In reality, “pre”-diabetes is actually AFTER or “post” 15 years of the high insulin levels & inflammation associated with the modern lifestyle.

It's a common belief that cattle cause ecological destruction. So common that Allan Savory, whose grazing framework has been used to regenerate 40 million acres, once held this belief. That is, until he came across the work of a little-known Frenchman
