Meat free diets pose health risks for young women - scientist

Young women who consume little to no red meat and dairy are at risk of developing vitamin deficiencies that could lead to health problems later in life, a scientist said according to the Independent.

Prof Ian Givens warned that young women were more at risk of developing nutritional deficiencies than men, which could be because women were “more sensitive to the messages put out about how bad” meat and dairy products are for the environment.
