downside of vegetarianism

Passed along in email:
Our study has shown that Austrian adults who consume a vegetarian diet are less healthy (in terms of cancer, allergies, and mental health disorders), have a lower quality of life, and also require more medical treatment.
Such are the words of a medical study conducted at the University of Graz in Austria, which also included:
Vegetarians were twice as likely to have allergies, a 50 percent increase in heart attacks and a 50 percent increase in incidences of cancer.
The study does not suggest that vegetarians rush out and start wolfing down Big Macs, but it does seem to sound a cautionary note.
