Q4 How did the Brahmins and othercommunities throughout the Indian history get enough Omega 3 and vitamin B12that are so essential to brain development and eyesight, and cannot be consumedin sufficient amount through a purely vegetarian Indian diet? A4 Kiron Krishnan, A resident andcitizen of India. Nov 27 Indians who havebeen having a very large amount of plant-based diet since generations, have what are called the “vegetariangenes”, in high proportion. No, I am not makingthis up :- Eating green couldbe in your genes | Cornell Chronicle Cornellresearchers describe a genetic variation that has evolved in populations thathave historically eaten vegetarian diets, such as in India, Africa and parts ofEast Asia. https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2016/03/eating-green-could-be-your-genes You can read moreof it, and the research to understand how this works. It is not likeOmega-3 is absent in plant sources. Omega-3 is present in most leafy vegetables and legumes.It is just that this is in the form of ALA and inthose people without the “vegetarian genes”, this conversion of ALA to DHA andEPA is difficult. But in India where agriculture has been around sincemillennia, this has not been an issue for most communities, as they haveadapted genetically to the diet. This is also why these communities didn’t simply die out because oftheir diet. And Brahminsor other Indians were not vegans, but lacto-vegetarians,so that ensures availability of adequate B12 as well. If at all your bodyseems to not convert the omega 3 acids properly, you could still go for algal oilsupplements these days. Itis not an excuse to eat carcasses in 21st century.
