Vegetarianism causes reproductive problems?!
Answers: I have recently become a vegetarian and people are saying that is causes frequent miscarriages and reproductive problems(such as difficulties getting pregnant) Is this true/common?
No, not at all. If anything it would help. Vegetarian women have a lower risk of breast cancer and osteoporosis. I've heard alot of people say obsurd myths about vegetarians and it kind of makes me laugh to be honest. Especially giving the fact that they have never researched vegetarianism and they just get all of their info by ear. So if you are not sure you should research it but I know of this one lady that was a vegan and fed her kids vegan(her pediatrition told her to) and they never had any sicknesses and they learned to speak and walk incredibly fast. So it's a good thing in my book.
no, as long as you get enough protein and fat from somewhere. Hormones in meat and dairy often cause reproductive problems
No, it's BS. If you're managing your nutrition properly, you will be more healthy than omnivores.

okay if that was actually true, - which it is not - why does India, the largest Vegetarian country also have the second largest population, soon to beat china in about 10 years.
Surely all the Indian people would either have no children or only one child or adopted children. - Instead they have an average or about average number of kids in their families.
No, I've never heard anything like that. I think your friends are either misinformed or they're messing with you.
I have never heard of the vegetarian diet having those effects. The veggie diet is no less healthy for you or has no more risks than being non veggie I believe.
That's crap. As long as you have a balanced diet and are getting all of your vitamins and minerals, there shouldn't be any reproductive harm. Those people are just trying to scare you out of it. Keep doing what your doing!
Not true or common.
