The text states that vegetarians fart seven times more often than those who eat a regular diet.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (67/100).
The claim that vegetarians fart seven times more frequently is based on the increased fiber intake associated with plant-based diets, which promotes healthy gut bacteria. The sources from Men's Health and New Scientist support this with scientific studies, indicating an increase in flatulence for vegetarians compared to those with meat-based diets. However, these studies note the health benefits of such dietary changes and don't universally quantify the increase to exactly seven times more for all individuals. Therefore, while the claim is based on a general observation supported by studies, it may not be precisely accurate for every vegetarian.
