Vegetarians have a better antioxidative status

And what exactly are we to make of this, how does it relate
to any body of theory, to what practical use is it, and
toward what goal can it be applied? Without this information
it is but another random abstract plucked from the web, one
among thousands of such.

Levels of conjugated dienes of fatty acids (first
peroxidation product) in relation to their substrates and
promotors (triacylglycerols, homocysteine, iron) as well
as to their inhibitors (essential antioxidative vitamins)
were assessed in a vegetarian group (n=24) and compared
with subjects on a mixed diet (traditional nutrition,
n=24). Positive significant linear correlation between
conjugated dienes and triacylglycerols, homocysteine,
iron as well as inverse relationship between conjugated
dienes and vitamin E, vitamin C, beta-carotene were
observed in pooled groups. Lipid peroxidation risk in
vegetarians seems to be caused predominantly by
hyperhomocysteinemia, whereas in a mixed diet group this
was due to a higher supply of substrates or risk iron
values. The incidence of only 8 % of risk conjugated
diene values in vegetarians in contrast to 42 % in the
group with traditional diet indicates that vegetarians
have a better antioxidative status as a consequence of
regular consumption of protective food.

Well, this helps to explain why B complex vitamins are
important in vegans. Homocysteine metabolism is dependent
upon B6, B12, and Folic acid. Hyperhomocysteinemia is
associated with atherosclerosis.
