Dear MEL Topic Readers,
One identical twin went vegan while the other didn’t. See what happened
There are various types of diets that people follow for health,
ethical, personal, or medical reasons. A healthy omnivorous diet allows both
plants and meat in a balanced and healthy way. While a vegetarian diet excludes
meat but includes dairy and eggs, a vegan diet focuses on plant-based foods and
excludes all animal products, including dairy, eggs, and even honey. A low-carb
diet limits carbohydrate intake mainly to reduce weight and control the blood
sugar level. Which diet style makes you healthier? A study was conducted in the
US among 22 pairs of identical twins, who share the same genomes, having one
twin follow a strict vegan and the other sibling enjoy a healthy omnivorous
diet for eight weeks. It found that those who ate a vegan diet had lower bad cholesterol,
better blood sugar levels, and greater weight loss compared with the other
twins, even though they ate a healthily omnivorous diet. Should we all be a vegan
or vegetarian? Do processed or non-processed foods make more differences in our
health?
