Eating Veggies: Shrinks brain (ass, thighs, and hips)

Scientists in Australia have apparently discovered a link in veganism and brain shrinkage. The researchers claim that an insufficient supply of vitamin b12 causes the brain to shrink and atrophy.

The link was found by Oxford University scientists who studies a group of 107 individuals between the ages of 61 and 87, and employed memory tests, physical examinations and brain scans to determine the results. Volunteers were tested in 2003, and again this year, and researchers claim that the individuals with the lowest level of vitamin b12 were the ones likeliest to suffer brain shrinkage.

The study went on to cite research claiming that people who consume alcohol regularly also suffer markedly from cerebral shrinkage, primarily localized to the hippocampus, a region of the brain responsible for short term memory. No mention was made in the study as to the ‘old-as-fuck’ status of the participants, and what role that may have played in the loss of brain tissue. Although vitamin b12 levels were taken, there is no mention as to whether any of the participants were vegans, vegetarians, or paint-huffers.
