No, but it is known that dairy and meat have been promoted as important for health much more than they are. Like overpromotion of need of protein for muscle by meat industry. And dairy for bone health. 

Seven Seas a big company that sells fish oil capsules. 

Always good I think to keep open mind as to what we are told by media and scientists, as scientific research often funded by companies with vested interest

Well, a lot of East Asians perform very well in academics and Omega-3 is related to brain function. Their high performance might be due to high intake of seafoods (some fishes have plenty of Omega-3).

Scandinavian people (on average) also probably have very strong immune systems. They probably consume a lot of seafood too. Omega-3 is related to immune system too.

@dalsingh101 - Lacto-veggies do not get enough omega-3 fatty acids. Do you think that this could be ONE of the factors that our people (on average) are not performing that well in academics as compared to other people?

@dalsingh101 - Well, there are other nutrients that Lacto-veggies might lack in, such as Vitamin B12, Calcium, Zinc, Iron, Vitamin D, etc.

Do you think (in general) that lack of meat eating (or hatred towards meat, fish, eggs, etc) has caused weakness (physical and mental) in our Panth?

Dairy has calcium, and B12. 

The alimentary system of vegetarians/people who don't meat, are adapted to absorbing more iron from the diet than meat eaters. The iron deficiency in vegetarians thing is somewhat a myth

You are not asking me, but meat is not needed for any strength, physical or mental .

Other than Dairy products, most other foods which are rich in Vitamin B12 are non-vegetarian, with beef liver at the top.

Can you please provide scientific evidence for the above statements?

Thanks

Iron and vegetarian diets

Conclusion

Well planned vegetarian diets provide adequate amounts of non-haem iron if a wide variety of plant foods are regularly consumed. Research studies indicate that vegetarians are no more likely to have iron deficiency anaemia than non-vegetarians. Vegetarian diets are typically rich in vitamin C and other factors that facilitate non-haem iron absorption. The limited iron absorption studies conducted to date have not yet clarified how much iron Western vegetarians require daily. Research studies, which have been used to set official RDIs, have not taken into account long-term adaptive mechanisms, such as increased absorption and reduced excretion when iron stores are low, or during times of increased physiological need.

Ensuring adequate iron status in vegetarians and vegans

This article was published in the journal Advanced Research in Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

Discussion

Patients following a plant-based diet, and their physicians, need not be concerned that a plant-based diet will lead to iron deficiency anemia any more than an omnivorous diet will. However, that doesn’t mean that iron deficiency anemia shouldn’t be tested for when indicated. Iron deficiency is prevalent in the general population; an average of 5.6% of the U.S. population met the criteria for anemia and 1.5% for moderate-severe anemia. (52) Menstruating and pregnant women are at particular risk. (52)

The vegetarian and vegan patient should be instructed as to which plant foods are high in iron and how to enhance absorption. Plenty of foods that are high in iron can be chosen. If this is not enough and anemia results, then supplements are available and can be employed the same way as with omnivorous patients.

There are now several million Americans who follow either a vegan or vegetarian diet. Many physicians have started to prescribe a plant-based diet for the prevention and treatment of several diseases such as coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes.  By prescribing a diet that has ample iron-containing foods, along with the foods that enhance absorption, the physician can help ensure an adequate iron status in their patients following a plant-based diet.
