Vejetaryenlik, kısaca diyette hayvansal hiçbir etin (kırmızı et, tavuk,
balık ve diğer deniz hayvanları) olmaması, sekonder hayvansal ürünlerinin (yumurta,
süt ve süt ürünleri) ise sınırlı miktarda ya da tercihe bağlı olması durumudur.
Veganlık ise sekonder hayvansal ürünler dahil hiçbir hayvansal ürünün tüketilmediği
ve kullanılmadığı (deri, yün, ipek dahil) bir beslenme biçimi ve bir yaşam
tarzıdır. Veganlar, deney hayvanların kullanıldığı ürünleri de (kozmetik, diş
macunu ve hatta bazen ilaç bile) almamakta, hayvanların kullanıldığı filmlere
ve sirklere gitmeyerek bunu bir dünya görüşü olarak kabul etmektedirler. Canlı
eşitliğini savunan ve biyoetik bir yaklaşım olarak benimsenen veganlığın günlük
yaşama olan yansımalarından sadece biri beslenme biçimidir. Canlı eşitliği,
canlı yaşamına saygı, hayvan hakları savunuculuğun ve ekoloji korunmayı
amaçlamanın yanı sıra sağlıklı bir yaşam biçimi
olduğuna inanma gerekçesi ile vegan/vejetaryenliği tercih eden birey de
olmaktadır. Sağlıklı olmak özellikle vegan beslenmenin tek neden olmamakla
birlikte diğerlerinin yanına ek bir nedendir. Bu beslenme biçiminin sağlık
açısından olumlu etkilerinin olmasının yanı sıra sağlıksız olduğunu savunan
araştırmalarda bulunmaktadır. Bu makalede de vegan/vejetaryen sağlık yönüyle ele
alınacaktır.

Health-Wise Vegan/Vegetarianism

Öz

Vegetarianism is simply
that diet does not include any animal meat (red meat, chicken, fish and other
marine animals) and contains limited amount or optionally as for secondary
animal products (egg, milk and milk products). On the other hand, Veganism is a
life-style and a nutrition form in which any animal products (leather, wool and
silk) including secondary animal ones cannot be used and consumed. They do not
buy the products that experimental animals are utilized (cosmetics,
tooth-paste, and even sometimes drug or pill) and also accept that as a
World-view by not getting involved in or going to the films and circus which
the animals are utilized. Just one of the reflections to Daily life of Veganism
adopted as bioethics approach and defending living equality is the nutrition
form. There are also some individuals who prefer Veganism/Vegetarianism on
account of being healthy besides living equality, respect to living life, advocacy
of animal rights, and the aim of ecology protection. Being healthy is not only
reason of vegan-diet but also additional cause as well as others. In spite of
the fact that this eating style has positive effects to health, there are also
some researches defending that it’s
unhealthy. In this article, Vegan/Vegetarianism is going to be considered on
health.
