05 May 2022 --- Children who followed vegetarian diets had similar growth and nutrition measures compared to those who eat meat, according to a Canadian study. However, vegetarian infants have two-fold higher odds of being underweight, which is an indicator of undernutrition. The study, carried out by the St. Michael’s Hospital of Unity Health of Toronto and published in Pediatrics, involved 9,000 children aged between six months and eight years.
