Vegan Diets are deficient

Vegan subjects and, to a lesser degree, subjects in the LV-LOV [lactovegetarians or lactoovovegetarians] group had metabolic features indicating vitamin B-12 deficiency that led to a substantial increase in total homocysteine concentrations. Vitamin B-12 status should be monitored in vegetarians. Health aspects of vegetarianism should be considered in the light of possible damaging effects arising from vitamin B-12 deficiency and hyperhomocysteinemia.

The full report is linked in the title. Please know that high homocysteine levels are a marker for heart disease. A vegan diet increases these levels the most.

You should also read the abstracts here (scroll down to Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences)that also discuss the unhealthy aspects of low carnosine levels in vegan/vegetarian diets. Carnosine is only found in animal flesh.

Don't listen to this fool, he spends his entire internet life trying to stop people from being healthy. Just do a google search for "robertangel30" and see how much time he put into it. Do angels kill innocent animals? I sure hope not.

Hmmm...I did the google search suggested and didn't see anything damning.

OTOH, "2evils" has no argument at all against the scientific studies you're quoting.

Finally, the idea from the vegans that their cult practices are healthy is utterly unscientific. Thanks for your site, and especially for posting Colpo's "China Study" review.

Thanks for your support Mr. Steele

wow.

Steele, sorry, argueing that vegans are apart of cults is also unscientific without evidence.

Also saying that 2evils hates Obama, then using profanity is...I want to say beneath you, but looking at your site...lolz

Vitamin b12 is also found in yeast cultures, which is fungus. Not an animal.

I'd like not to be subject to insults. Thank you.

Watch me eat my tofu~ yumyum XD
