Abazali kufanele baqaphele izingozi ezihlobene nokudla kwe-vegan. Olunye ucwaningo lwabonisa ukuthi ukufaka izingane ekudleni kwe-vegan okusemfashinini kuzozenza zikhule zibe zifushane futhi zibe namathambo abuthaka. Abacwaningi bathola ukuthi izingane ezineminyaka emihlanu kuya kweyishumi ubudala ekudleni okusekelwe ezitshalweni zazimfushane ngamasentimitha amathathu kunalezo ezidla inyama.
Amathambo abo nawo ayemancane futhi engaqini kahle, okubeka izingane engcupheni yokwephuka noma i-osteoporosis kamuva ekuphileni. Lolu cwaningo olwenziwe yi-Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health e-University College London, luthi abazali kufanele baqaphele ubungozi obuhambisana nokudla kwe-vegan.
Ababhali bakholelwa ukuthi izingane ze-vegan kufanele zinikezwe i-vitamin B12 kanye ne-vitamin D supplements ukunciphisa imiphumela yezempilo yesikhathi eside engaba khona yokukhula ezitshalweni zodwa. Ama-Vegan ayifaki yonke imikhiqizo yezilwane, okuhlanganisa ubisi, amaqanda, ngisho noju. Kodwa kunobufakazi obuncane bokuthi lokhu kungalimaza impilo yezingane.
Umlobi oholayo uProfesa Jonathan Wells wase-University of California, eLos Angeles, wathi: “Siyazi ukuthi abantu baya ngokuya bekwamukela ukudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni ngenxa yezizathu eziningana, ezihlanganisa ukusiza ukuvikela izilwane nokunciphisa ithonya lethu esimweni sezulu.
“Impela, ukushintshela emhlabeni wonke ekudleni okusekelwe ezitshalweni manje sekubonwa njengokubalulekile ekuvimbeleni ukuphazamiseka kwesimo sezulu, futhi siyayeseka kakhulu le mizamo. Siyazi futhi ukuthi kuze kube manje, ucwaningo ngemiphumela yezempilo yalokhu kudla ezinganeni lukhawulelwe kakhulu ekuhloleni ubude nesisindo futhi lwenziwe kuphela phakathi kwezingane ezidla imifino.
"Ucwaningo lwethu lunikeza ukuqonda okubalulekile ngemiphumela yezempilo yezingane ezilandela ukudla kwemifino nemifino."
Ucwaningo olusha lwabandakanya izingane ezinempilo eziyi-187 ezineminyaka emihlanu kuya kweyishumi ePoland. Kulaba, abangama-63 babengabadli imifino, abangama-52 babengama-vegan kanti abangama-72 babengama-omnivores. Izingane ekudleni kwe-vegan zazimfushane ngamasentimitha amathathu. Futhi babenamaminerali amathambo ambalwa ngo-4-6% futhi babenethuba eliphindwe kathathu lokuntula uvithamini B-12 kunama-omnivores.
UProfessor Mary Futrell ongumbhali kanye naye wanezela: “Kutuswa ukukhulisa impilo yamathambo ezinganeni ukuze kuncishiswe amathuba okuba ne-osteoporosis nokuphuka esikhathini esizayo. Sithole ukuthi izingane ze-vegan zinesisindo esiphansi samathambo ngisho nalapho zicabangela imizimba yazo emincane nosayizi wamathambo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi bangase bangene ebusheni, isigaba lapho izidingo zomsoco wamathambo ziphakeme futhi ukuntuleka kwamathambo sekuvele kusungulwe.
Uthi: “Uma lokhu kusilela kubangelwa ukudla okuqhubekayo ngesikhathi sokuthomba, kungase kwandise ingozi yemiphumela emibi yamathambo kamuva ekuphileni. Kodwa-ke, ngakolunye uhlangothi, izingane ze-vegan zinamazinga aphansi angama-25 e-cholesterol "embi" ye-LDL kanye namazinga aphansi amafutha omzimba.
Umlobi okanye naye uDkt. Malgorzata Desmond uthe: “Sithole ukuthi izilwane ezidla inyama zidla imisoco eningi, okubonisa uhlobo 'olungacutshungulwayo' lokudla okusekelwe ezitshalweni, okubuye kuhlotshaniswe namafutha omzimba aphansi kanye nephrofayili ethuthukisiwe yengozi yenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukudla kancane amaprotheni, i-calcium, namavithamini B12 no-D kungase kuchaze ukugcwala kwawo okungathandeki emathanjeni nakumavithamini e-serum.
“Ekuqaleni samangala ngokungabi bikho kwempilo yenhliziyo nemithambo yegazi yezingane ezidla imifino, kodwa imininingwane yazo yokudla yabonisa ukuthi zidla uhlobo lokudla olucutshungulwayo olusetshenzwa ngamazinga aphansi e-fiber noshukela olunempilo uma luqhathaniswa nezilwane ezidla inyama.
