    There’s plenty of other factors that need to be considered. There will be significant differences in iron levels, b12, calcium, vitamin d, etc.

    If you’re vegetarian/vegan, you absolutely need to monitor multiple other levels and take the appropriate supplements. Pretending otherwise is really dangerous.

      Studies show 92% of meat eaters are nutrient deficient in at least one vitamin or mineral.

      The rate for vegans is 30%

      Worry about yourself.

      The study itself makes none of the claims you’re rallying against.

      It looks like the OP started with a title that was misleading and it has been corrected so now your post looks out of place.

      You can get all of that just fine on a veg diet without artificial supplementation. Just eat a fucking vegetable dude.

          Vegan sources of vitamin B12 include fortified plant-based milks, fortified cereals, nutritional yeast, and certain types of algae, several types of mushrooms, most meat and dairy replacements are fortified with b12.

          And a single energy drink contains 5x or more the daily dose of b12.

            So you could buy a bunch of processed crap with vitamins in it and hope you get enough.

            …Or you could just take the vitamins.

            I recommended just taking vegan v12 every day. It’s a requirement and very small sacrifice to make for living a better life without having to consume animal parts

        Plenty of swole guys are vegetarian. Not Vegan. The difference is vegetarians don’t tell everyone.
