Figaniaeth
- Gofal! Mae'r erthygl hon yn sôn am ddeiet nad yw'n cynnwys unrhyw gynnyrch gan anifeiliaid, ac nid llysieuaeth.
Figaniaeth yw'r ymarfer o fwyta lysiau a ffrwythau'n unig, heb unrhyw gynnyrch gan anifeiliaid (Saesneg: Veganism). Mae figaniaeth yn ffordd o fyw a ddilynir ers canrifoedd ond mae'r term yn tarddu o'r 1940au. Gellir diffinio figaniaeth (mewn modd negyddol) drwy ddweud fod y llyswr yn ymwrthod rhag bwyta cig neu ecsbloitio anifeiliaid mewn unrhyw fodd, a hynny drwy beidio â defnyddio llaeth, wyau, caws, gwlân na mêl. Bathwyd y gair Saesneg vegan yn 1944 gan Donald Watson (sef cydsefydlydd the Vegan Society), drwy gywasgu'r gair vegetarian h.y. veg- + -an.

Mae sawl rheswm dros fod yn figan (sef person sy'n ymarfer figaniaeth), gan gynnwys rhesymau amgylcheddol, moesol, meddygol, neu ddietegol.
Roedd syniadau gwreiddiol Watson yn 1944 yn ymwneud â llysieuwr nad oedd ychwaith yn defnyddio cynnyrch llaeth, ac ymhen ychydig ehangodd y diffiniad i gynnwys wfftio'r ymarfer o ecsbloitio a defnyddio anifeiliaid mewn unrhyw fodd.[3] Cynyddodd y diddordeb mewn llysiaeth yn y 2000au pan ddaeth ar y farchnad fwydydd amrywiol, wedi'u prosesu'n arbennig ar gyfer deiet figanaidd. Nododd nifer o athletwyr eu bod yn figaniaid, yn enwedig yn y Triathlon Ironmana'r ultramarathon.[4]
Datgelodd gwaith ymchwil y maethegydd Winston Craig yn 2009 fod deiet figanaidd yn cynnwys lefelau uchel o ffibr, magnesiwm, asid ffolig, fitamin C, fitamin E a haearn, a'i fod yn isel mewn caloriau, braster dirlawn, asidau brasterog, colestorol, fitamin D, calsiwm, zinc a fitamin B12.[5] Ymddengys yn ôl adroddiadau gan sawl corff safonol[6] fod deiet y figan yn gwarchod rhag rhai afiechydon megis afiechyd y galon,[7] ac yn addas ar gyfer pob oedran, Un o'r ychydig fwynau / fitaminau nad yw ar gael mewn planhigion yw B12 (sy'n cael ei greu gan feicro-organebau megis bacteria), felly dylai figaniaid gymeryd ychwanegion B12 ar ffurf tabledi.[8] Dywedir hefyd fod figaniaid, ar y cyfan, yn deneuach na'r arfer, gyda cholestorol a phwysau gwaed is. Credir hefyd fod ffactorau megis ymwrthod rhag cig, bwyta ffrwythau, a meddu ar indecs màs y corff (BMI) isel yn amddiffyn y corff rhag cansar.[9]
Hanes
golyguMae llysieuaeth yn ymarfer hŷn na figaniaeth, a gellir ei olrhain yn ôl i India a Groeg. Yn y 19eg y daw'r gair vegetarian i fodolaeth. Defnyddiwyd y gair 'llysieuwr/aig' yn y 15-6g, ond ei ystyr oedd 'person sy'n defnyddio llysiau a pherlysiau i bwrpas meddygol.[10] Roedd 'Geiriadur Saesneg Rhydychen yn wreiddiol yn y 19g yn nodi mai'r actores Fanny Kemble (1809–1893), yn Georgia yn 1839 a sgwennodd y gair am y tro cyntaf.[11] Y bryd hynny total vegetarians oedd y term a ddefnyddiwyd am y figan.[12]

Claus Leitzmann, "Vegetarian diets: what are the advantages?", Forum of Nutrition, 57, 2005, pp. 147–156: "A growing body of scientific evidence indicates that wholesome vegetarian diets offer distinct advantages compared to diets containing meat and other foods of animal origin. The benefits arise from lower intakes of saturated fat, cholesterol and animal protein as well as higher intakes of complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, magnesium, folic acid, vitamin C and E, carotenoids and other phytochemicals. ... In most cases, vegetarian diets are beneficial in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, renal disease and dementia, as well as diverticular disease, gallstones and rheumatoid arthritis."

This consensus is based on research relating dietary factors to chronic disease risks, and to observations of exceptionally low chronic disease rates among people consuming vegetarian, Mediterranean and Asian diets. ... Most evidence suggests that a shift to largely plant-based diets would reduce chronic disease risks among industrialized and rapidly-industrializing populations."

Several clinical trials have documented that vegetarian eating patterns lower blood pressure.
"On average, vegetarians consume a lower proportion of calories from fat (in particular, saturated fatty acids); fewer overall calories; and more fiber, potassium, and vitamin C than do non-vegetarians. In general, vegetarians have a lower body mass index. These characteristics and other lifestyle factors associated with a vegetarian diet Mai contribute to the positive health outcomes that have been identified among vegetarians."

Vegetarians should thus take preventive measures to ensure adequate intake of this vitamin, including regular consumption of supplements containing B12."
