Benefits of a vegetarian diet does not have to be restated. Researches have proven again and again that vegetables and fruits can keep you away from many old and modern diseases. Vegetarians retain a better Body-Mass Index, excellent glycemic control and serum control and the accolades go on.

However, the primary argument against a vegetarian diet is its ability to provide all nutrients and minerals required for a human body. This debate pushed the vegetarian diet to take various forms - some accepting diary to be part of a vegetarian diet, some accepting eggs to be part of a vegetarian diet while some accepting meat to be part of a vegetarian diet ;-)
