> The original (peer reviewed, etc) research was submitted in liu of a journalistic news story for increased submission quality.[1] The conclusion of that research reads: >"Overall, our findings reveal that vegetarians report poorer health, follow medical treatment more frequently, have worse preventive health care practices, and have a lower quality of life."

Actually that's not what the research concludes. You left out "Austrian adults who eat a vegetarian diet". That's different than American vegetarians, who are a much larger group with a different and longer culture of being aware of issues like B12, etc.
