Georges Dujardin-Beaumetz

Georges Octave Dujardin-Beaumetz (27 November 1833, Barcelona – 15 February 1895, Paris) was a French physician and hygienist.

He was also an editor of the "Bulletin général de thérapeutique médicale, chirurgicale, obstétricale et pharmaceutique".

[1][2] Dujardin-Beaumetz stated that a vegetarian diet may help patients with certain gastric diseases.

[4] However, Dujardin-Beaumetz was not a vegetarian and he defended the consumption of meat as part of an omnivorous diet.

Despite this, Dujardin-Beaumetz was regularly cited by vegetarians to lend scientific credibility to their arguments.
