Here is an update on recent studies dealing with the issues of veganism (indirectly) and sugar, regarding cardio-vascular health. Vegan protein according to recent research has its limits. And sugar …well …they don’t call it white poison for nothing. Sorry sugar industry, but there will always be plenty of people consuming the sweet grains.

“For older adults trying to build or maintain some muscle, all proteins are not equal. That’s the main finding of a new study from The Physiological Society that analyzed the gram-for-gram benefits of animal and plant proteins. Derivatives from animals, such as milk, cheese, and meat, may be among the first food items that come to mind when one thinks of protein. But, over the past decade or so, veganism has enjoyed a meteoric rise in popularity. More people are choosing to forgo animal-based foods due to health, environmental or animal-rights related concerns. There’s no question that a vegan lifestyle carries numerous benefits. But the jury is still very much out regarding a vegan diet’s impact on muscle maintenance and growth among older adults. So, the study’s authors decided to investigate. Now, it’s universally agreed upon by doctors that the main driver of muscle loss as we age is a decrease in muscle proteins being built with amino acids. Of course, amino acids come from the protein we ingest, and then form while exercising.
