Yes, being vegetarian can be dangerous for your health and fatal for you. The science itself supports this. A recent study has revealed that consuming vegetarianism for a long time can lead to genetic mutation. This genetic mutation can increase the likelihood of colon cancer and cardiovascular diseases.
The Research
A research was conducted by Cornell University, describe a genetic variation that has evolved in populations that have historically favored vegetarian diets, such as in India, Africa and parts of East Asia.
According to the scientists, consumption of vegetarian food for 100 consecutive generations, can develop a mutation – known as the Vegetarian Allele. This can easily weaken the body and make you susceptible to the disease. It can also increase the fear of cardiovascular disease and colon cancer specifically.
In this research, researchers primarily focus on 234 Indian vegetarians 311 American non-vegetarian subjects.
Studies on genetic patterns showed that 68 percent of Indians and 18 percent of Americans were found to have the mutated Vegetarian Allele.

Implications
According to researcher Professor Tom Brenna – in some places where vegetarianism is a traditional choice of eating, people are more likely to see omega-6 excess and its harmful effects, cardiovascular disease and colon cancer.
