Lol Just the other day I talked to a girl at my school and she said "Well I tried to go vegan but the only food I ate were peanut butter cookies. After a week I got really sick and my mom made me eat meat again so I guess the vegan diet isn't for me" And I was like ARE YOU F*&%ing SERIOUS.
^they never thought of it, wait, yes, they're too tired from vacation pleasure to think of it. oh well... maybe some of them do... slowly... as more mic's become :)
I thought I'd seen the most ridiculous arguments against going vegan, but this article takes the cake. Vegans intake too many antioxidants?! Give me a break.
Tbf, your body does intentionally use oxidation as a strategy for defense.... This also applies for inflammation, but I really doubt this is high up on the list of worries for almost anyone
You keep saying that one should consume organic produce, but what about how they fertilize it? I've understood that they use more animal by products in organic farming. Have I misunderstood?
Can we expect DHA video soon ? I'm wondering how much our body produces it, how much of ALA is converted to DHA and whether or not we need to supplement it with fish oil :)
The Logic of this article: “Vegans dont eat meat so they have to eat more oil.“ Just because vegetable oil(or other foods) is vegan it doesnt mean that vegans HAVE TO eat them or that omivores DONT eat them. Im pretty sure that most omivores eat more oil because they roast their meat and they don't care about their health anyway.
+J Morgan well I don't think any one person should be held up as the spokesperson for vegans so if someone says they're not vegan because of VG, DR or whoever then they're cowards who are looking for excuses anyway. But as a viewer I just prefer Mics videos.
klang180 - yes the drama vegans need to grow-up. However, IF they're also SOLIPSISTIC they can harm many... They need to be confronted about the dangers of their solipsism...
124bel875ive variations of the word "solipsistic" seem to be the only text that keeps coming out of your device. You might want to fix that... unless that's a new word you have learned and feel that it makes you sound intelligent? Either way, that also is irritating to see, a word repeating over and over again, and caps being used way too much to be effective.
Amazing man, I'm so glad I found your channel! As a recently turned vegan, I really appreciate the information in your videos, and all links to the research you talk about. I feel much more well armed with the facts, should anyone try to debate the benefits of veganism with me. I only hope one day soon that more people can begin to see the light!
Ooh, pea milk. My BF is allergic to soymilk AND almond milk so we'll have to try that. (Rice milk is gross.) But I won't be eager to tell people I drink "pea milk".
Wow I'm so glad you included that information about phytates. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent soaking grains because I thought phytic acid was evil.
Yoan Pantchev Truth? YOU WANT SOME TRUTH? Think about 3 more minutes of CLEAN AIR, 3 more days of CLEAN WATER, 3 more weeks of CLEAN FOOD... Think about the CONSEQUENCES for messing with THAT TRUTH... Jus Cogens mofos
Othmane Chenguiti TRYING to ensure YOU (et al) Live in least Harm - we're NOT your enemy: NOR are we going to let you destroy OUR Air, Water and Earth. JUST step aside if you do not CARE...
Because it's a religious belief and if they were to acknowledge the truth it would mean they are murdering animals and eating thier dead bodies. They are literally fucked in the head and don't want to confront it. Honestly it's very sad how stupid humans are in general. They don't even know what to eat they are that stupid. Fuck I feel retarded that I used to eat dead animals, it will haunt me for the rest of my life.
Because meat it's tasty and full of nutrients you can't get elsewhere, will ever vegans understand that we have the right to enslave animals and take control of their lifes for our pleasure?
Interestingly just saw at my university's faculty of health sciences faculty day a study where they measured the viability of osteoclast cells in cowpea digests and soy bean digests. They showed osteoclasts (which break down and absorb bone) were less viable in the digests of these plant based digests, suggesting bone degradation will be decreased on diets including them. Pretty cool
I love this channel so much! I was vegan for nearly a year and was in the best shape of my life. Then life happened along with a small stint in jail....pretty fucking hard to be vegan without starving in that environment. Im in a much better place legally speaking but have regained all the weight i lost and feel sick and lethargic constantly, watching these vids has given me tons of inspiration. thanks!
Re: the processed mould. It’s called Quorn, it’s a massive, massive industry in the UK, and it’s amazing. Low in saturated fat, high in protein, suitable for people allergic to soy, and hey, mushrooms are technically from the same family.
I actually feel embarrassed when people ask what I'm eating for lunch and I've accidentally slipped and said "mock meat". That sounds terrible. I need to get better at this, lol.
Sorry I don't know you until recently, but looking by the thumbnail of your latest video (I haven't had the time to watch it) care you vegan or in transition or not? just curious 😃
+EurAsiaNikki haha, don't worry, I don't, so I'm going to watch it. And thanks for answering me! new subscriber;) and congratulations to start your journey. I add well starting.
Hey ;) I don't think it's embarrassing at all. Sometimes I have mock fish or chicken burger or mock pepperoni and I'm not concerned about admitting this in front of non vegans. Personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with having something with similar taste or texture to meat which is not meat ;) I mean, after all people like meat because of the taste and if you can have the cruelty free meat tasting meal why not have it? It's them that should be embarrassed for having animals killed for them to eat even if they can have same or similar thing without cruelty.
Love this. On the B12 bit: in the past, it may be that we absorbed vitamin b12 via pond or lake water while we waded, or swam. B12 can be absorbed transdermally, so I think this is a reasonable hypothesis.
Great video, as ever! I was wondering if you had plans (or maybe already have done) a vid on the effects of dairy using the latest research. I know many vegans are still using the "milk leaches calcium from your bones" argument (most recently in Australia, a well-known paleo tv chef used this and got shot down in flames by the medical and scientific community, making us all look bad) I'm having a hard time finding an up-to-date concise argument to replace this. Thanks Mic, love your work.
You must be some kind of vegan computer to search and study all those papers you quote on your videos...or maybe I'm too lazy? Anyway, thanks for another great video!
Second video I have to comment on and this is simple: Bravo! Your ability to debunk the junk is pretty impressive. As a newer plant-based eater, you're cementing why I went um, vegan (did it for health, thank you very much). Your videos are informative and I appreciate the amount of work you have put into putting out the facts. Keep up the great work!
Hah! Thanks for doing this video, Mic! I read that article and felt myself getting dumber. I mean, I had noticed the quality of their reports declining but I think they hit a new low with that one
+Mic The Vegan you're the only famous vegan I know who really attacks the B12 propaganda. I've been hugely disappointed with the so-called vegan leaders not only staying silent about farm animal supplementation and B12 in water but even going out of their way to stress that animal products are (and always have been) the only way to get B12.
If i went to a grocery store, what are the names of all the produce and all the supplements equal to a 1 inch new york stake and cost. So I could switch to Produce.
Im vegan and I: 1. Dont eat fake meat; 2. Dont eat coconut oil; 3. Dont eat soy; 4. Dont drink almond milk; 5. Dont eat avocado; 8. Take b12 supplement; 9. Antioxidants are bad for you? LOL; 11. Antioxidants are bad for you? LOL; 12. Take D supplement. What a complete bulshit. Thanks mic!
I recently had the peamilk.... It's incredibly thick and nice for a plant milk... Makes great ice cream and sauce base... Like you said large ingredient list but for what it is it's nice.
There is an argument for worrying mainly about "incremental suffering". Animal bones are an almost worthless commodity at the slaughterhouse. No additional animals would ever be slaughtered to create bone char. From my perspective this means that if two ethical vegans fell on opposite sides of this issue, both would be correct from a perspective and neither has a solid footing to criticise the other. Nutritional vegans, of course, are more concerned about sugar than bone char (and will criticize palm oil for being a heart-unhealthy saturated fat).
Deforestation to accommodate livestock grazing is serious issue in the Amazon but also here in Sonoma county, Northern California - where we have a lot of dairy farms. We've been told to see the grazing cows as picturesque when in reality there should be trees growing on the mile after mile of bare hills that used to be beautiful and produce oxygen, and capture rainwater... sigh...
I have this feeling your videos really help me take this little step from vegetarian (mostly vegan already...but outside pizza with cheese) to a full time vegan. Thanks and keep it up!
Somehow I had missed this video, saw it now. Very good as always, needed as your videos are with so much ill logic against veganism all around. Kudos and thanks. 👍😊.
Ok, THIS was a good video. Lots of objective, cited facts about the health benefits, there was a lot of empirical evidence to support it, THIS is a strong, compelling argument. More of this, less of the appeal to emotions & subjective / non universally shared moral baselines. This is a good and productive approach to take. Keep going with THIS.
Hay mic ,i used to eat meat around 1-2 months ago and im kinda new to being vegan.i really get confused when it comes to what i need to eat .i did watch a binch of vides for vegan recipies ,but my mind is all over the place .it wold be amazing if you cold just list all chemicals i need as a vegan and what foods contain them and maby what vegan foods i shold avoid . I love your videos and i just wanted to let you know that you motivated me to go vegan ,you made me do something that was kinda in the back of my mind and i didnt even concider before :) thanks !
Thing with phytates, correlation is not necessarily causation (you know that) it could be other factors in the phytate rich foods good for bones. Also I think its clear that phytate rich diets lead to poorer Zinc absorption relative to low phytate diets. (*ok you mentioned that)
I always laugh when anti-vegans say that vegans don't get b12 specifically. Because I was raised in a family that has eaten tons and tons of meat and I've always had a b12 deficiency. I don't know if that's changed because I haven't had blood work since the (recent) switch, but I doubt things have changed much In that regard lmao.
Sammy P. I ate fast food most my life and have a extremely fast metabolism yet my vitamin levels are always normal its genetic and habitual and environmental
Talking floating mouth at the beginning is very reminiscent of Boosh/Noel Fielding's other projects. You a fan, Mic? Great video! I have had the deforestation argument thrown at me many times and cannot facepalm hard enough.
Hey Mic this was awesome.. just a thought... Have you ever thought of doing a video on how you critically appraise scientific literature? Realise this sounds off topic in relation to veganism... but I'm sure there's loads of vegans out there would love to know how to break down the scientific research.. hierarchy of evidence, use of control groups, maybe even some basic stats (like what is a P value)... of course your viewers are a hyper intelligent lot, so I'm sure most of them would understand this stuff… But you explain things in such a clear and concise way i'm sure it would be fascinating for many.. cheers 👍
Ah I'm on a youtube binge of purely your videos. They're so educational! Side note... do you know of any forums etc to talk about vegan topics/meet other vegans other than posting on youtube? I'm way to intimidated for that at the moment. Thoughts?
I am working on plantspace.org which is exactly that. I cover it at the end of my DHA video. I am making it precisely because I don't know of a good place to go. vegan reddit? Forums like these? www.veganforum.com/forums/forum.php
Lol Just the other day I talked to a girl at my school and she said "Well I tried to go vegan but the only food I ate were peanut butter cookies. After a week I got really sick and my mom made me eat meat again so I guess the vegan diet isn't for me" And I was like ARE YOU F*&%ing SERIOUS.
I know it's really sad.

Always fun to see carnists struggle to find any science that even remotely supports their life choices
the study failed to do even that!
Your videos never let down. You and Emily from Bite Size Vegan should do a collab. Two top TH-camrs most focused on the cause.
Agreed! My two favorite vegans
I second that
i also really like Legit Nutrition Hawaii
'Unnatural vegan' is also a very good one.
+Katrin V Not really.
You're totally the vegan myth buster! Love it!
If anyone wants to, feel free to tweet this vid at the article's author Alex Orlov: @_aorlov

Hey Mic, could you do a video featuring myths and the science with regards to water consumption and water quality?
Every single one of your videos slays, but this makes me happier than any other before. I really appreciate the research you do. :)

Thanks! I continue to stumble upon new reasons showing that it was a good decision even now. Glad you like the vids.
That makes you a plant based eater, not a vegan.
Magnificently done Mic. You are such a great asset for the vegan community in the world!! Keep it up - please never stop 👍
Love all your videos mic! Thank you for using evidence based articles to back up the things you say!!!❤️😊

What are your thoughts on palm oil and white sugar (bone char).
Sugar cane uses bone but sugar beets do not.
palm oil is not the worst thing in the world if you don't mind wiping out the S.E.Asian rainforest. I mind. A lot.
There is an argument for worrying mainly about "incremental suffering". Animal bones are an almost worthless commodity at the slaughterhouse. No additional animals would ever be slaughtered to create bone char. From my perspective this means that if two ethical vegans fell on opposite sides of this issue, both would be correct from a perspective and neither has a solid footing to criticise the other.
Nutritional vegans, of course, are more concerned about sugar than bone char (and will criticize palm oil for being a heart-unhealthy saturated fat).
Deforestation to accommodate livestock grazing is serious issue in the Amazon but also here in Sonoma county, Northern California - where we have a lot of dairy farms. We've been told to see the grazing cows as picturesque when in reality there should be trees growing on the mile after mile of bare hills that used to be beautiful and produce oxygen, and capture rainwater... sigh...
I have this feeling your videos really help me take this little step from vegetarian (mostly vegan already...but outside pizza with cheese) to a full time vegan. Thanks and keep it up!
Have you tried nutritional yeast? One of my go-to's for cheese replacing. Also the buzzfeed vegan Mac n cheese video recipe is bomb.

You know how social justice warriors talk about 'getting triggered'? These articles full on trigger me.

Realise this sounds off topic in relation to veganism... but I'm sure there's loads of vegans out there would love to know how to break down the scientific research.. hierarchy of evidence, use of control groups, maybe even some basic stats (like what is a P value)... of course your viewers are a hyper intelligent lot, so I'm sure most of them would understand this stuff… But you explain things in such a clear and concise way i'm sure it would be fascinating for many.. cheers 👍
Mic The Vegan LAYING IT DOWN!!! You are awesome
Destroyed. No sweat. Thanks Mic.
This is one video where you should have dropped the mic at the end. Awesome.
Ah I'm on a youtube binge of purely your videos. They're so educational!
Side note... do you know of any forums etc to talk about vegan topics/meet other vegans other than posting on youtube? I'm way to intimidated for that at the moment. Thoughts?
I am working on plantspace.org which is exactly that. I cover it at the end of my DHA video. I am making it precisely because I don't know of a good place to go. vegan reddit? Forums like these? www.veganforum.com/forums/forum.php
