Vegetarianism is not good for brain health.

Original title: Vegetarianism is not good for brain health
The trend of eco-friendly vegetarianism is good for protecting the planet, but nutritionists have pointed out that a vegetarian diet may affect the intake of choline, a nutrient vital to brain health.
nutritionists call on healthcare professionals and consumers to recognize the importance of a choline-rich diet and access to it. Failure to reach the recommended intake is required through diet or supplements, especially for pregnant women, which are essential for fetal development.
Writing in the new issue of the British Medical Journal of Nutrition, Prevention and Health, Dr Emma Derbyshire, from the consulting body Nutrition Watch, points out that choline, a nutrient found mainly in animal foods, is vital to brain health, particularly fetal brain development, and also affects liver function. However, the body's liver produces its own choline is not sufficient to meet the needs, but also from diet and supplements.
mainly from beef, eggs, dairy products, fish and chicken, from nuts, beans and orchids and other cross-flower vegetables can also obtain a small amount of choline. Current dietary guidelines that advocate limiting the intake of whole milk, eggs and animal protein may affect choline intake.since 1998, the American Academy of Medicine has recommended a minimum daily choline intake of 425 mg and 550 mg for women and 550 mg for women and lactating women, respectively, and the European Food Safety Authority issued a minimum recommended intake of choline in 2016,
Deby hill said. However, dietary surveys in North America, Australia and some European countries show that people's daily choline intake is still below the recommended standard.
