Women's Health: Lose Meat & Lose Your Marbles | My Sciency Response

I highlight the flaws in Women's Health's article...that you should be afraid to give up meat for mental health reasons. I also present the other side of the research.

I struggle with depression and attempted suicide as a meat eater. I'm not completely vegan yet, but as I consume less meat and more plant based food, I find my mood improving. Thanks for debunking that bullshit article.

Thank you for clearing up the B.S! Also worth considering that Vegans/Vego's are often depressed due to the overwhelming ignorance of the masses and their support of the animal holocaust. Unfortunately, the most aware and intelligent people are often the most sensitive.

The only reason i was depressed as i went vegan was bc i realised what i had done. But my mental health has become better than before since then

[freediverhd]

You are a champ. Holding thumbs for this channel to go viral.

[Phoenix-uynm]

My mood disorder has vastly improved since going fully vegan! It wasn't an overnight change but I have been able to almost completely go off all my psychiatric medicine!

[ellesig]

I'd say it's easy to get depressed when you realize how many people don't care about animal suffering or the environment or when loved ones don't care about their health or bully you for not eating as they do. When you are a woke vegan it's hard to stay happy when you think about the world around you.

Excellent rebuttal of the stupid article. Some people (like Authority Nutrition, and groups like them) say that eggs are healthy because of their Omega 3 content but the arachidonic acid cancels it out and causes inflammation.

As of May 3 2016 I have not eaten any meat for 5 months and 2 days and I feel sane and my over all health has improved. thank you : )

I was literally in a glass case of emotion... always crying, feeling super depressed, and lonely. But all of that went away. Woot woot!

[asceticfeminine]

I have had trouble with anxiety and panic attacks for the past two years. I stopped eating meat a few months ago on a hunch that it would help. While I haven't been cured, I do notice a significant difference in my episodes. They are fewer and I bounce back really, really fast. The only changes I have made was abstaining from meat.

[VeganMentalHealth]

I love how you included studies showing that eating healthy contributes to better mental health! I'll use them when people ask me about it. Meat eaters tend to tease me about my username a lot XD

[xHaniffax]

I honestly feel you can't generalise this and relate mood and cognition to diet - to a certain extent. I've always had bouts of mild depression growing up whilst I was a meat-eater but I suffered and severe depressive episode with pscyhotic symptoms when I was a vegetarian. I really don't think it had anything to do with my diet and everything to do with my social circumstances at the time. Like you said correlation does not mean causation and I don't think these 2 factors are directly dependent on each other.

Thank you for your amazing videos. You give me more arguments to bring up in discussions which is great. I always say that informing is better than blaming and you talk about the topics in a great way that makes the "meat eaters" less likely to go all ego-defensive. Plus you simplify many articles that people otherwise might find hard to read and/or understand which is great as well since it helps spread the knowledge. I really hope you continue to upload and that your channel grows a lot because you truly deserve the views.
All the best.
Alice

I feel great on a vegan diet it definitely promotes peace, mental clarity and happiness.

[narjes]

Aaaaah long live sciency people :) Love how accurate your references are . A lot of the time you read article online or even books where it seems that the authors are trying to persuade and not actually trying to convince people by vaguely metioning vague as fuck observational studies. This video reminds me of nutritionFacts.org's vids but you know more fun to watch

[AnthonyTran]

Women's Health and Men's Health are horrible magazines!

[a.wilkinson]

not only has my mood stabilized, my energy has greatly increased! among so many other things...

[nicholasallen]

your videos are so well researched. I think you have one of the best evidence based channels. you deserve many more subscribers than you have currently!

DEAR EVERYONE,

SHARE THIS WITH WOMEN'S HEALTH MAG ON TWITTER, FACEBOOK AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA WEBSITES.

GOOD DAY

PS. great response Mic

[kjskdjf]

Have to say thank you for staying with the current topics and helping educate your audience. I used the information in this video to completely dismantle an ignorant co-worker who tried this argument with me. it was ah-may-zing.
