Vegans have better memories than meat-eaters
Jump to: Newest in thread
A new study from Birkbeck University has revealed that following a vegan, vegetarian and pescatarian diet boosts the memory compared to meat treats like sausages and beef burgers.
Previous studies have found numerous links between diet and physical and mental performance.
In the research, experts set out to evaluate the effects that diet can have on memory and sleep quality. A group of 62 adults aged 40 and over were recruited and their memories were assessed using the California Verbal Learning Test - one of the most widely-used neurological tests.
Pinar Sengul, who led the study, said: "Adherence to a plant-based rather than a meat-based diet results in improved short-term verbal memory.
"A vegan diet is associated with superior cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions.
"Mediterranean diets (high fruit and vegetable content) are linked with reduced risk of neurodegenerative diseases and improved performance on cognitive."
Food for thought......  |

"I read this somewhere before but I can’t remember where"
Lolz. 
I was expecting this to be sponsored by Linda McCartney Sausages or some vegan food company but nope. No conflicts of interests declared in the paper and compensation payments to the 62 (wow what a huge sample!) participants came directly from the Uni.
I'm sceptical, particularly given the small sample size.
That and because bacon tastes good.....

"Surely this cannot be true. If vegans have good memories then why do they forget that they tell me they are vegan and then continually tell me they are vegan... "
They have to remind your forgetful ass |

"A study that is not peer reviewed, I think I'll keep eating meet  "
Also only looked at short term verbal memory, a very narrow measure of what we mean by "memory". They remembered some words over a relatively short period. How did the control for natural variation in memory? Age? Etc. |

"That can’t possibly be true. I eat meat every single day and… what was this thread about?
Fuck
It was about fuck? In what context?
Dunno….I forgot. "
I’m guessing it was one of those “Can’t get meets” threads. |

It is a bit shocking isn't it that it's called a study? |

Indeed. It's a sort of mini project?? |

A bit contradictory though isn’t it - since a Mediterranean diet is not vegan or vegetarian |

"If being a vegan means no animal products, does that mean you shouldn't suck cock, eat pussy or swallow cum?"
No, it means you shouldn't eat people who suck cock, eat pussy or swallow cum.  |

Not a single top of the food chain athlete is vegan, despite what the documentaries say, we aren’t built for it, it makes sense in so many ways and there will be outliers who can perform very well on a vegan diet but the majority of us will underperform, there’s no study for that because the sandal wearing do gooders don’t want you to know that, there’s countless studies stating mushrooms also perform the same mental capacity increase too but noooooooooo one wants to talk about that either as there is no real money in mushrooms, off I trot |

"They certainly never forget to tell you they're vegan every other sentence.
You can’t even remember your name so it must be true "
This isn't actually far from the truth! |
