what i really hate about these vegan related videos in youtube is that almost none of them hardly ever talk about animals and how they are being exploited.
people will willing kill animals if they believe its nutritionally or environmentally superior. Unfortunately a lot of people aren't mentally well enough to care about others.
Yea it's really gross honestly, they've such a hard on trying their hardest to debunk its health and environmental benefits, that they ignore the very real ethical concerns with their own diets. I don't understand it, especially coming from "objective science" channels.
I don't know man, I've taken enough psychedelics to have compassion for the plants too. Instead I try to be grateful for what the animals and plants provide me.
Definitely one of the "better" videos about Veganism from a popular non-food channel. Thanks for the clean up Mic. Also maybe these big Channels are afraid of going full truth about Veganism. This for the average Viewer at least looks neutral.
Full truth about veganism is it completely denies the mountain of evidence for plant intelligence. Personally, consume whatever you want. But, I always find it funny when you put a plant intelligence study in front of a vegan. The excuses are absolutely beautiful. 😂 It's a pro animal religious movement, and they're free to do it. They're not free from reality, though.
I've basically followed an Esselstyn lifestyle for the past 10 years (started at Ornish), after having a heart attack. So, no high blood pressure, no high cholesterol, no chest pains, able to go out and run 5 miles at a moments notice ... able to leap tall buildings in a single bound :) ... OK, maybe not that last one. It's EXTREMELY healthy! Vegan ftw!
@@gmr1241Guaranteed you were not on a Keto or Carnivore diet when all this happened. Of course ANY move towards eating better will have improvements. One thing Vegan's never seem to address is just how come so many people, especially with autoimmune dysfunctions, get completely better when on a carnivore diet versus any pure plant based diet. Our intestinal tracked doesn't look like any Herbivore tract, not even the great Ape. How do you explain our survival for over a million years without any high percentage of plant based foods whatsoever? And, most of the vegetables and fruits we consume today didn't even exist a few hundred years ago, so exactly why would our bodies be supposedly "better" at digesting all this stuff suddenly, in the last 0.1 % of our Evolution versus what we ate for hundreds of thousands of years?
Great points, as usual! Thank you so much, Mike, for doing what you do. I started watching your videos soon after I went vegan. They're always helpful, and enjoyable. Good work, my friend!
Yeah so this video was supposed to be released way earlier but the original one is still stuck processing!!! WEIRD. I blame the Masters in Beef Advocacy program :P Note for TH-camrs: I think it was because the upload was interrupted and restarted and the video was scheduled. Who really knows though. I finally just reuploaded it and that worked quickly so if you ever see "Processing will be begin shortly" for more than an hour then it is probably messed up.
perhaps I'm mistaken, but isn't the Master of Public Health (MPH) program closely related to Loma Linda University? well, that explains a majority of your standpoints pretty well
Don’t mind me but I will gladly continue eating meat. Cmon, I think you are forgetting steak burgers chicken salad fried chicken roast beef fried beef pork fried pork stewed pork stewed chicken baked chicken ground beef tacos pepper steak and cheese sub foot long chopped beef minced beef tuna sandwiches tuna wraps tuna tacos tuna salad sushi fish fried fish fish sticks fish and chips lasagna casserole Sausage And more much, but you can be vegan if you want. I’ll keep eating meat.
👍. The points of concern were picked up and tackled well: the title of that video, the canines - baffling how people ignore what their eyes tell them about human canines and simply focus on the word, the bone study, the stroke, the B12 *missed out here by both that video and by Mic was the data about 40% of all Americans, and a higher percentage of seniors, being deficient*, the good summing up list of health benefits of vegan diet - and yes the scant attention given to animal suffering. A good Mic the vegan video, again. Thanks. And congratulations on completing the public health course. 🎉💐
Congrats on MPH! I work in research/academia and Ive watched you for years and have been vegan almost 10 yrs(I was raised vegetarian), you are one of the only vegan content creators that I can rely on as being peer reviewed and scientifically accurate. Alot of the other vegan content creators have gone kinda wacky since 2015!😅
@@MictheVegan hi please can you look up about dandy lion i seen something about it has b12 in i see them all over the place ...thank you for all you do
Check out Nutrition Made Simple (Dr. Gil Carvalho) and Plant Chompers (Chris Macaskill) as well. There are some absolutely amazing science based vegan content creators out there ♡♡♡
I am applying to med school this year and yes, there are few vegan content channels where they are down to earth and scientifically sound. Just clicked away from a V on instagram saying vegans don't need supplementation and I'm like '!!' even omnis need supplements for b12 at certain age so that is just a lie to try to make veganism sound easy. Vegan for 11 years myself, it's not hard, but we do disservice to those who would switch by lying to them.
CONGRATS on your graduation!!!! everyone has their own timeline...it took me 7 years to get my bachelors for haing to take mental health breaks...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!🎉
Congrats on the degree! I was not wondering about it because I watched the recent "gap year" video of Stanford students, and learned that students do actual work when between degrees. I appreciate your evaluation of this video, which was surprisingly fair, and thank you for posting!
Sorry to point this out but the simple fact that Mic is vegan and he studied PUBLIC health might cast some doubts over veganism itself since public health has been so much discredited lately. Keep up the great content anyway!
Honestly, I'm so thankful that I stumbled on accurate info right as I went vegan and B12 and vitamin D3 are not an issue for me. I've tested my blood regularly and my levels are in the perfect range for both.
you'll get sick in a few years don't worry. meanwhile just killing your health slowly but surely and the longer you stay on your artificial slave corporate-pushed diet, the harder it will be to reverse the impact on your physical and mental health. Good luck!
There is a few people that seem to somehow either get B12 from a source which is unknown... or that their bodies microbiome some how makes B12 for them. There is cases of vegans being vegan for over 40 years, and they don't take B12 supplements, par if it's added to food. And so this seems to indicate some people make their own B12 somehow. However there is also cases of vegans not taking B12 and getting seriously ill with mental problems, and even dying as a result. So it is important for most vegans to play it safe and supplement B12, even if there is a chance they make their own B12, I don't think risking mental health issues is worth the gamble. So I think all vegans should encourage B12 supplementation to be safe.✌
B12: Douglas Graham speaks about people that are B12 deficient at the beginning of a long water-only fast, but by the end of the fast their B12 levels are normal, indicating that the B12 is produced by naturally occurring bacteria in the human, given the right conditions. Anecdotal only.
Another great video Mic and thanks for mentioning that being vegan is by the definition for the animals. I would call those doing it for the environment & health reasons plant based dieters because they won't necessarily avoid all non food products & services that involves animals. This video is informative and interesting as always. Love 🥰 the video.
Congrats on your Masters of Public Health! I have an Masters in Public Administration and am going back to school now to become an RD. So when you said it was a long process I could relate. Congrats!
My 92 yr old mother has gone on an all meat diet😱😱😱. This is the person I’m so thankful to for raising us on lots of garden veggies and whole foods in the 60’s, which I think gave me a really good start in life that has really paid off. Dang. She has listened to TH-cam ‘researchers’ and is convinced that veggies have 27 toxicins in them or something. I’m shocked. But she has lost a lot of weight that she needed to loose. And at this point in her life if she believes in it then she has the right to try it. I’ll be visiting in a few weeks. Should be interesting as we watch each other eat what the other thinks is very unhealthy.
Send her nutrition made simple and of course Mic the Vegan videos. At that age though, I imagine she would need a lot of protein, so maybe being pescatarian would help instead of telling her to eat all plant protein
There's plenty of B12 in nori sheets and plenty of Iodine. No need to eat steak or fish. If you run out of money for a multivitamin you can grab some nori sheets from the store for $5 in a pinch and eat 2-4 sheets per day. Just munch on them plain or make your own vegan sushi rolls or just tear them up and sprinkle like a topping over salad or steamed rice with some veggies. Yummy.
Great video. I wish you would have mentioned that the b12 in animals is supplemented. You've probably said it so many times already that it slipped your mind. I really appreciate all your hard work in this subject. You Are Awesome!!
It isn't supplemented in animals in my country as they are raised outdoors with access to natural soil bacteria and water sources which is where vitamin B12 comes from.
MPH Mic drop! Seriously, you earned it and probably learned more than your peers. Next on to your PHD….. or at least a Post Hole Digger for fence building in order to keep the deer out of your garden.
A whole food plant based diet and a ruminant carnivore diet both are good for ones health. I have tried both for months at a time, but as a middle aged man, it was only after being on the carnivore diet that I personally experienced (2-4 weeks into the diet) waking every morning with an erection like I did back when I was in my teens and twenties. I'm a lap swimmer, and had no problem swimming a mile nonstop on both diets. For health and well being regardless of diet, the important thing is to exclude all processed foods, all seed oils, most sugars. Many of the plants we consider food today did not exist 100 to 200 years ago in the form found today. They have been modified via selective growing techniques and/ or geneticaly modified techniques. As a result fruits are more sugary, and many individual vegetables were developed/designed from one or two types of vegetable ancestors. Lastly, if you love your animals, feed them natural foods too; not processed foods. That means feeding your cats a diet that includes raw meat or if cooked meat, but not boiled.
When people talk to me about protein deficiency, I always ask them if they've heard of kwashiorkor. They stare at me, confused. Exactly. Protein deficiency is not a problem in the Western world.
Congratulations on achieving your Masters! The world will definitely benefit from your hard work. 👍 On the other hand, Niceberg. Really? 🤨 Great video Mic.
I would add that a vegan diet does not necessarily correlate to good health. If you are not eating meat - great - but don't expect to be healthier by eating non meat products such as bags of chips, French fries, non dairy chocolate bars, processed vegan foods, etc. Though these are foods not containing meat, they are also very hazardous to ones health. I would also add that strong bone is not the sole result of eating calcium rich food. You can eat all the calcium you want, but if you are not engaging in some form of stress related bone activity, your bones will continue to weaken. Use it or lose it is the phase that comes to mind. If the body discovers that it doesn't need to expend resources on growing bone strength, it doesn't - it simply doesn't waste it's time. To build stronger bones one needs basically two things: bone stress and proper nutrition to support bone growth. Take one or the other way and you take away bone health. Just my two cents... Peace and love always.
I always call myself a plant based vegan. Health is as important as animal welfare. You need to set an example for overs to follow. Congratulations on getting the degree
A vegan diet will lead to deficiency unless we can buy the rare plants mentioned in this video. I live in a city of 150000. Not one shop sells them. The success of a vegan will depend on long-term conscientiousness and her/his income.
Can you share why you stopped being vegan??? I'm not a troll/militant I'm on the path to being vegan and I'd like to know if there's things/mistakes that I can prepare for beforehand so I don't go back to eating APs.
@@witty_kitty when I first went vegan I struggled and only lasted 9 months. I wasn't eating enough calories. I went back to pescatarian for a few months but hated it because I knew what was happening to fish. So, I researched everything I could at the time. Recipes, how to eat at restaurants, and found vegan groups on Facebook. This helped me a lot because I wasn't so alone and I learned a lot from the others. It also got me into activism which only solidified my stance on ethics. Seriously, you have it so easy these days. The information, products, and larger community didn't exist when I first went vegan. Where there is a will, there is a way.
I went vegan and had 3 strokes, broke 14 bones, had a heart attack, got MS and Lou Gherig's disease, was diagnosed with Parkinson's, had an aneurism, and my teeth fell out. Other than that, I'm in great health.
Also Isotope studies show early humans at large amounts of nuts and aquatic protein and less land-animal protein than usually claimed. Instead of "hunter-gatherer" we should've been called "fisher-gatherer". Sorry red-pill carnivore bro's.
It is fantastic how much depth you are able to go into on this! I'm considering going vegan again after 14 years as just a vegetarian and I can't believe how much more there is to know now, the science was in such early stages then. Everyone thought I was crazy and sacrificing my health for 'the animals'
Love your videos.I love your research style and presentation. Congratulations on finishing your degree. I’m sure you contributed so much to the program for everybody.
Congratulations on your MPH. I just came back from my fiancé’s graduation he received his DHSC and I was so moved by all the people graduating in to careers thats are so beneficial to society
The 8.7 million species of animals have a 100% success rate with their species diet as long as they had access to the food and no accidents happened. If a vegan diet does not have a 100% success rate with simple intuition based on evolution, then someone is trying to outsmart nature which will have a 100% failure rate.
Thanks for the video Nic. I'll admit I haven't actually looked myself yet, but can you or anyone post a link to the study about bioavailable B12 in duckweed please? I knew there was B12 in duckweed but didn't realise any research had been done to prove whether it is bioavailable or not - the last article I read on the subject suggested that the research hadn't been done or was in it's early stages, so really interesting.
Most of cow's milk is actually not that rich in calcium. In our country they actually add calcium to the milk. So why not just drink plant based milk that has also added calcium and other nutrients
Oh YES definitely get the sign of I HAVE A WHOLE VIDEO ON THIS . Use it often . Great vid 🤩 I knew we'd find B12 in plants - not just mushrooms ? Nutritional Yeast ? ?
Hi Mic! I haven't looked through all your videos yet but have you ever done one about vegan/vegetarian diets and developing Hypochlorhydria? I developed that condition after being a vegetarian/vegan for over 20 years of my life and had no choice but to start eating meat to deal with the side effects that almost killed me. Didn't know if you knew of it or other ways to treat it. Thanks!
The most likely vegans to succumb to the pressures of ultra-processed foods would be the ethical vegans, not environmental vegans, and definitely not the nutritional vegans.
I’m a vegan, I broken my foot because I dropped a 45lb plate on it. I’m healing faster and I can do more than what my surgeons expected. I don’t think someone who eats meat would have been able to do any better than I am.
When it comes to science, there is no debate and there is no "balance". Data is the only thing that matters. The scientific data behind whole food plant based diets has been extensive and rock solid for DECADES. There is nothing to debate
Great video, Mic! Keep it up! I turned vegan a couple of years ago & have no issues with cholesterol, high BP, diabetes & some of the 'normal'' stuff we see nowadays. My chronic rheumatoid arthritis has also begun to reverse to the extent that at sixty I am now able to technodance all night long at the dance clubs that dot Goa's beaches down here in India! I have never felt better, physically & mentally! Ofcourse I pay attention to my nutrient intake, particularly Iodine which I get from seaweed, & I also use methylcobalamin as a B12 supplement.
Congrats on your degree! We need you ! I'm a physician and the hospitals serve eggs and bacon for breakfast to people after their bypass surgery. Its hard to find anything healthy on the menu. The veggies are poorly prepared and taste awful. They might as well sell cigarettes.
@ryanhulme3303 You might call it that but you'd be wrong. Any medical professional will tell you that a vegan diet is suitable for humans at any stage of life unless they deny the science.
@ryanhulme3303 Just to clarify, veganism is a moral philosophy not a diet. Vegans eat a plants-only diet sourced without harming or exploiting animals. That's the whole and sole purpose of veganism, to avoid harming and exploiting animals. Nothing more, nothing less. Those very sources you cite state quite clearly that a well planned "vegan diet" is NOT an unhealthy diet and can even provide benefits that other diets cannot. Dig deeper and you'll find the facts. I often use the NHS's statement to back up my claims. I tried linking the NHS page but TH-cam doesn't like legitimate links so you'll have to look it up yourself. Just search NHS vegan statement and you'll see it. As for supplements, vegans generally only need one: B12, and that's easily sourced by tablets, injections or fortified foods. Also, if you think supplements are a bad thing, you might want to research all the supplements that go into standard animal meat products in the animal Ag industry including B12. I think you'll be surprised at what the industry has to do to make their "products" legal to sell. Enjoy your research. May it make you a better person!

This! They’re actually talking about plant-based diets but conflate it with veganism

To build stronger bones one needs basically two things: bone stress and proper nutrition to support bone growth. Take one or the other way and you take away bone health. Just my two cents... Peace and love always.
I always call myself a plant based vegan. Health is as important as animal welfare. You need to set an example for overs to follow. Congratulations on getting the degree
Love your videos. My steak always taste better when watching
🤣🤣🤣
A vegan diet will lead to deficiency unless we can buy the rare plants mentioned in this video. I live in a city of 150000. Not one shop sells them. The success of a vegan will depend on long-term conscientiousness and her/his income.
Congrats on your MPH. Keep up the good work brother. Former vegan dieter thinking about going back!!
Can you share why you stopped being vegan???
I'm not a troll/militant I'm on the path to being vegan and I'd like to know if there's things/mistakes that I can prepare for beforehand so I don't go back to eating APs.
@@witty_kitty when I first went vegan I struggled and only lasted 9 months. I wasn't eating enough calories. I went back to pescatarian for a few months but hated it because I knew what was happening to fish. So, I researched everything I could at the time. Recipes, how to eat at restaurants, and found vegan groups on Facebook. This helped me a lot because I wasn't so alone and I learned a lot from the others. It also got me into activism which only solidified my stance on ethics.
Seriously, you have it so easy these days. The information, products, and larger community didn't exist when I first went vegan.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
I went vegan and had 3 strokes, broke 14 bones, had a heart attack, got MS and Lou Gherig's disease, was diagnosed with Parkinson's, had an aneurism, and my teeth fell out. Other than that, I'm in great health.
You eating straight Oreos?
Now I will call you master Mike.
Congratulations!!!! We are so proud of you!!!!
my dad was a doctor in africa and a huge way he and his colleagues treated kwashiorkor back then was just through peanuts
Congrats Mic! Well done on MPH! And thanks for the great research summaries and commentaries as always. Every success.
Phoenix doesn’t play Julius Caesar in gladiator. Slight correction. He plays commodus, son of Marcus Aurelius.
Congratulations! 🎉🎉. Thank you for all the work you put into your videos.
Mic the Vegan, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!
Congratulations on your degree and thank you for your videos 💚
Also Isotope studies show early humans at large amounts of nuts and aquatic protein and less land-animal protein than usually claimed. Instead of "hunter-gatherer" we should've been called "fisher-gatherer". Sorry red-pill carnivore bro's.
Congratulations on completing your masters. 🎉 Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 😊
It is fantastic how much depth you are able to go into on this! I'm considering going vegan again after 14 years as just a vegetarian and I can't believe how much more there is to know now, the science was in such early stages then. Everyone thought I was crazy and sacrificing my health for 'the animals'
MicTheVegan will make a great epidemiologist. I look forward to seeing him speak at conferences.
Love your videos.I love your research style and presentation. Congratulations on finishing your degree. I’m sure you contributed so much to the program for everybody.
All primates eat meat at times in the wild, I would be interested if zoos give them this part of their natural diet.
Congratulations on your MPH! I remember what a relief it was to finish my thesis, take comps, and finally graduate with an MS in Natural Science.
Congratulations on your MPH. I just came back from my fiancé’s graduation he received his DHSC and I was so moved by all the people graduating in to careers thats are so beneficial to society
I'm meat based but i subscribed because it's interesting. I like that there are links to your sources.
"But we have canines!" Yeah so does literally every other mammal
The 8.7 million species of animals have a 100% success rate with their species diet as long as they had access to the food and no accidents happened. If a vegan diet does not have a 100% success rate with simple intuition based on evolution, then someone is trying to outsmart nature which will have a 100% failure rate.
Congrats on your masters Mic, we love ya
Mike!!! Congratulations are in order! Good Job!
thanks mic!! you are my go to for recommending credible voices in the vegan community.
cheers.
There's a lot of benefits of Taurine, which is difficult to get on a vegan diet, so I've been supplementing with capsules 2 or 3 times a week.
Congratulations on your Master's degree and thank you for all you do.
Thanks for the video Nic.
I'll admit I haven't actually looked myself yet, but can you or anyone post a link to the study about bioavailable B12 in duckweed please?
I knew there was B12 in duckweed but didn't realise any research had been done to prove whether it is bioavailable or not - the last article I read on the subject suggested that the research hadn't been done or was in it's early stages, so really interesting.
Most of cow's milk is actually not that rich in calcium. In our country they actually add calcium to the milk. So why not just drink plant based milk that has also added calcium and other nutrients
Congratulations on the MPH! I just had a conversation with a woman telling me she was doubtful as to saturated fat being harmful. I just couldn't 🙁
Wow! Congratulations on your degree!!!! I have been watching your channel for 6 years now!! So wild.
Oh YES definitely get the sign of I HAVE A WHOLE VIDEO ON THIS . Use it often . Great vid 🤩
I knew we'd find B12 in plants - not just mushrooms ? Nutritional Yeast ? ?
Just a side note. Green kombucha has many B vitamins in it. Great video!!!
Time to start pickling parsley! I actually think this'll work well, mixed in with some other veg in my ferments.
Congratulations! I've been telling people that's who you are, the guy studying for that!! 🎉 Woohoo 🙌
A good raw kombucha serving has more than 100% of your recommended daily B12.
And also contains a lot of sugar.
Congratulations on your masters!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🍾🍾🍾🎈🎈🎈🎈🎊🎊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
And thank you for making these videos! ❤
Congratulations on obtaining your masters bro. And thanks again for yet another insightful video.
I’m so very proud and happy for you. You are desperately needed.
Congratulations on graduating Mike!
Hi Mic! I haven't looked through all your videos yet but have you ever done one about vegan/vegetarian diets and developing
Hypochlorhydria? I developed that condition after being a vegetarian/vegan for over 20 years of my life and had no choice but to start eating meat to deal with the side effects that almost killed me. Didn't know if you knew of it or other ways to treat it. Thanks!
Congratulations Mike!
The most likely vegans to succumb to the pressures of ultra-processed foods would be the ethical vegans, not environmental vegans, and definitely not the nutritional vegans.
So glad you're still doing great work!
Love your work. You helped ease the anxiety I felt as I transitioned to a vegan diet while pregnant. I spent many late nights watching your videos!
that's simply not true, it's just another one of your fabrications. mic was never pregnant
The famous River family of actors/actresses have been vegan since birth and was a vegan mom whilst carrying her children i believe
@@moosky7344 River family? Who on earth are you talking about?
@@ASMRyouVEGANyet 😂 You must know who i meant, famous Vegan brother begins with J phoenix,River was his late brother ✌️
I love asap science! My daughter turned me on to them years ago! Great review!
I’m a vegan, I broken my foot because I dropped a 45lb plate on it. I’m healing faster and I can do more than what my surgeons expected. I don’t think someone who eats meat would have been able to do any better than I am.
When it comes to science, there is no debate and there is no "balance". Data is the only thing that matters. The scientific data behind whole food plant based diets has been extensive and rock solid for DECADES. There is nothing to debate
Thank you for making this video ! I am disapointed in them for not checking more their data. They should have asked you for advices :p
But are THEY vegan? Congratulations on completing your goal!
Congratulations on your degree, Mic!!!! Well done 💚
Great video, Mic! Keep it up!
I turned vegan a couple of years ago & have no issues with cholesterol, high BP, diabetes & some of the 'normal'' stuff we see nowadays. My chronic rheumatoid arthritis has also begun to reverse to the extent that at sixty I am now able to technodance all night long at the dance clubs that dot Goa's beaches down here in India! I have never felt better, physically & mentally!
Ofcourse I pay attention to my nutrient intake, particularly Iodine which I get from seaweed, & I also use methylcobalamin as a B12 supplement.
Congratulations on completing your Masters wooooooooo 🎉🎉🎉
Congrats from Poland!
Congratulations Master mic
Congrats on your degree! We need you ! I'm a physician and the hospitals serve eggs and bacon for breakfast to people after their bypass surgery. Its hard to find anything healthy on the menu. The veggies are poorly prepared and taste awful. They might as well sell cigarettes.
love your channel mic, thank you so much
Just wanted to send Love to your efforts in making all your videos.
Congrats on the MPH! Thank you for the great content!
Could you do a video on GMOs and glyphosate/Roundup? This seems like a big deal that effects everyones food in the US but no one is talking about it.
People usually make this a vegan problem. That’s funny to me as it would effect everybody
Lol, I just knew it... You'd be responding to this today...?! Thanks, Mikey. Cheers.
Congratulations on your Masters! Love your debunk videos! Keep them coming!❤
Someone else has probably mentioned it but Joaquin Phoenix became vegan when he was three years old! Same time as his whole family.
@ryanhulme3303 You might call it that but you'd be wrong. Any medical professional will tell you that a vegan diet is suitable for humans at any stage of life unless they deny the science.
@ryanhulme3303 Just to clarify, veganism is a moral philosophy not a diet. Vegans eat a plants-only diet sourced without harming or exploiting animals. That's the whole and sole purpose of veganism, to avoid harming and exploiting animals. Nothing more, nothing less.
Those very sources you cite state quite clearly that a well planned "vegan diet" is NOT an unhealthy diet and can even provide benefits that other diets cannot. Dig deeper and you'll find the facts. I often use the NHS's statement to back up my claims. I tried linking the NHS page but TH-cam doesn't like legitimate links so you'll have to look it up yourself. Just search NHS vegan statement and you'll see it.
As for supplements, vegans generally only need one: B12, and that's easily sourced by tablets, injections or fortified foods. Also, if you think supplements are a bad thing, you might want to research all the supplements that go into standard animal meat products in the animal Ag industry including B12. I think you'll be surprised at what the industry has to do to make their "products" legal to sell.
Enjoy your research. May it make you a better person!
This channel is criminally underrated!
Whooooohooooooh! Congratulations on your Master's degree!!!!!!!! We all benefit from your accomplishment! Thank you!
Whoohoo congratulations on your degree!!! 🙌👏💯🎉❤
Congratulations!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
