Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?

That is not evidence - it is anecdotes. This is science.

According to pure vegetarian ideologists, people consuming vegetarian diet have better health and live longer than nonvegetarians, because persons consuming milk, dairy products, meat, eggs and fish are at health risk. In fact the most healthy people in Europe are inhabitants of Iceland, Switzerland and Scandinavia, consuming great amounts of food of animal origin. Meta-analysis of several prospective studies showed no significant differences in the mortality caused by colorectal, stomach, lung, prostate or breast cancers and stroke between vegetarians and "health-conscious" nonvegetarians.

What specific foods are they talking about? I believe these are big yogurt-eating countries. It would be nice to see a detailed breakdown of the diets of those countries. Anyway kudos on bringing actual fact-seeking back to the thread.
