I guess you&#x27;ve never seen a review article. The whole point is to go through the prevailing literature and rationalize the results, with the end goal of providing the consensus position among experts. Which is to say, cherrypicking &quot;a few lines&quot; of citations is one of the worst ways to interpret a review article which draws from hundreds of separate and often conflicting studies. You will note that I quoted from the abstract, where they clearly state their position.<p>This review draws from 204 studies, 20 of which you have cherrypicked one-line statements from. I don&#x27;t see the utility in getting a 10% cursory review of a review from a layman who has an axe to grind.<p>Complexity of course exists, but not in the dishonest sense that you implied in your initial comment. What I am telling you, and anyone else that is listening, is that as of 2009 experts in the field have concluded that it is absolutely practical to be healthy on a well planned meatless diet,  notional doctor and newspaper strawmen be damned.
