    'The UK Biobank research found vegans are at higher risk of anxiety and depression because they drink plant-based milk'

    'Vegans could be more likely to be depressed because they drink
    plant-based milk, a study suggests.

    However, fans of semi-skimmed drinks are at a lower risk of both anxiety
    and depression.

    Data was gathered from more than 350,000 people enrolled in a UK Biobank
    study who were followed for more than a decade and assessed for signs of
    mental health issues.

    It found that when age, health and income are taken into account, those
    who drink semi-skimmed milk are 12 per cent less likely to be depressed
    and 10 per cent less likely to have anxiety.

    Drinking skimmed milk, however, was found to have no benefit, whereas
    drinking other milks, such as soya and almond milk, was associated with
    a 14 per cent increased risk of depression.

    “Milk is a rich source of nutrients such as lactose, lipids, protein,
    and minerals, which are essential for maintaining human health,” the scientists from the Southern Medical University wrote in their study.'

    This seems like a lame study to me.
    Many vegans, as well as carnivores, take supplements to fill in the missing nutrients.

    Most vegans are rightists, which is why the average life span in red states
    is so depressingly low.

    Trump is a vegetarian, he's mentally ill.
