Scientific research has proven that some vegetarians can produce omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, because of gene mutation that happened over centuries.

Researchers reported that people with the gene mutation are from a lineage of ancestors whose diet consisted of mostly plants.


I – Word Understanding

Vegetarians– Person who doesn’t eat meat
Mutation – is a change in DNA, the hereditary material of life

II – Have Your Say
Scientist just discovered they have different genes and it offers remarkable evidence of ongoing human evolution.
• Locked away in the genes of many vegetarian is special type of MUTATION
• Most people with Mutation had ancestor who had been living off mostly plant for hundreds of generation
• MUTATION DO? It enhance a human ability to produce Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty Acids
• FATTY ACIDS – Are important for brain function and overall health
