In the August 26, 2011 edition of the journal Nutrition a surprising conclusion was made in a recent study by Ingenbleek & McCully from the Laboratory of Nutrition, University Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg, France.
This study of 24 rural male subjects 18 to 30 y old and 15 urban male controls was conducted. Overall health status was assessed by:
1. body weight
2. body mass index
3. serum albumin
4. plasma transthyretin
5. urinary nitrogen
6. creatinine.
Plasma lipids, vitamins B6, B9 and B12, homocysteine, and related sulfur amino acids were measured as selected cardiovascular disease risk factors
The conclusions of the study would surprise most physicians, most dieticians and of course those at PETA.
In more simplistic terms, a vegetarian diet may put you at risk of cardiovascular disease. I think former President Clinton may want to re-evaluate his new diet.
Homocysteine is normally changed into other amino acids for use by the body. If your homocysteine level is too high, you may not be getting enough B vitamins to help your body use the homocysteine.
Most people who have a high homocysteine level don't get enough folate (also called folic acid), vitamin B6 or vitamin B12 in their diet. Replacing these vitamins often helps return the homocysteine level to normal. Other possible causes of a high homocysteine level include low levels of thyroid hormone, kidney disease, psoriasis, some medicines or when the condition runs in your family.
It goes to show that the natural Hunter-Gatherer evolutionary diet of humans as noted in so many studies and books gains more credibility the more it's studied. More proof that we aren't vegetarians, vegans or carnivores, but Omnivores.
If you think it's difficult to show an old dog new tricks, try showing an old genome new biochemistry.
Combining this with the research of people like Walter L. Voegtlin, S. Boyd Eaton, Melvin Konner and Loren Cordain along with the most recent findings of this study on vegetarianism, it seems clear how we supposed to be feeding our bodies.
A balanced diet takes on an entirely new meaning now. The balance should be between healthy forms of animal protein such as wild game, grass fed beef/buffalo or bison, free range/pastured poultry and wild fish along with vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and water.
It is specifically because of our omnivore diet that we were able to "stick and move" through evolution and survive different environments. What was good for us then is good for us now.

CONCLUSIONS: The low dietary intake of protein and sulfur amino acids by a plant-eating population leads to subclinical protein malnutrition, explaining the origin of hyperhomocysteinemia and the increased vulnerability of these vegetarian subjects to cardiovascular diseases
