Vegans Might Not Get Enough Of These 11 Nutrients

in food •  2 years ago 

I'm so tired of this pseudo-skepticism. People think because they've found some lies or fraud in mainstream science that everything in our collective human knowledge is a lie, or just make up something random and stupid. For example, based on this kind of logic the moon landings being faked means the Earth is flat, 2+2=7, HIV is a man-made bioweapon becomes there's no such things as germs at all, and all other kinds of crap. If vitamins are gobbledeegook, then why do you make sure to eat a variety of food every day? It's not just calories.

Because I'm tired of people claiming vegans can't get enough of this and that from a plant based diet. It's nonsense. Take the B12 claim for eg. It was found that meat eaters were even more deficient in b12 than vegans. b12 is not even technically a 'vitamin' it's a bacterium waste found in soil and faeces. Vitamin d is another strange one. Is it a hormone or what? Vitamin d supplements are made by irradiating the ingredients. Bio-chemistry is a joke.

Says someone who has never studied it.
"It's all nonsense, I don't need to learn about it!"
And thus you will remain wholly ignorant - and ignorable.

I've been studying plant-based nutrition for 30+ yrs and bio-chemistry for about 20 independently hence my numerous articles on the subjects. No I don't listen to mainstream so-called 'experts' either (any more).
"In fairness to people involved with direct marketing programs, it should be pointed out that many people who are selling supplements are giving nutritional advice are not qualified to do so, and that includes nearly all physicians. Few medical schools even offer comprehensive courses on nutrition."

from the book "Supplements Exposed" by Brian R. Clement, P.h.D. Director of the Hippocrates Health Institute. (2010)

The notion we can't get nutrients from real food is a marketing ploy for the vitamin industry a side market of big pharma.
