Research on vegan eating

Here is a website dedicated to finding the ultimate diet, which of course involved looking at veganism and fruitarianism.

Animal experiment - vegan rats die early and have low energy

From my own experiences, I was 90% fruitarian for 6 months. It's a wonderful CLEANSING diet and it helped me immensely. I can't say enough about it. However, it's a terrible long term diet. All of the symptoms that people had that are described on the website, I got. I had insane cravings for some foods at times as well, like veal parmigian. And the brain fog which stopped after a month of fruit, started again after 4 months of fruit, so I started to go downhill again (but in a different way). Not good.

I think people, in general, eat way too much meat (and food in general, but maybe that is because they quality is so low). The average american eats 150g of protein a day and they only need 25g (some sources say 50g).

However, Dr Bass has shown the #1 factor in the lifespan and energy of his mice studies (conducted over 5 years) was that there was a complete protein in the diet. This doesn't mean meat, but meat is one of the better complete proteins.

For me, I'm going to continue eating vegatarian and I'm going to implement eating raw meat, fish and eggs from Aajonus.

I've already started benefiting and will continue to self experiment and let everyone know how it works.
