It’s now also that DJ. That whole thing was weird. But while I think vegetarianism is a good thing, veganism is so bad for you in the long run. I know first hand what a B12 deficiency can do to you…it’s not pretty. And when you have to start taking all kinds of vitamins and minerals in pill form just to get your recommended dosage? You aren’t eating correctly. Food is life. Nutrition is important. Going against your natural biology is never a good idea.
Indeed:
- 80% of long-term vegans are deficient in vitamin B12, which is needed for proper mental function.(8) B12 deficiency causes dementia, cognitive impairment, depression, and degenerative mental disorders.(9) None of these are going to improve your sports performance.
The one diet fits all approach that vegans push ignores scientific findings. People with EDS have problems with their GI tract and malabsorption making this diet a recipe for disaster. EDS patients need to supplement as it is:
See that? It’s called: Adrenal Fatigue.
- All the hormones made by the adrenal glands are made with cholesterol. You must eat cholesterol-rich foods like red and white meat and full-fat dairy and eggs to produce hormones. In other words, vegan diets are not conducive to adrenal health and actually promote adrenal fatigue. Every cell in our body contains cholesterol.
I am so tired of people manipulating others into adopting lifestyles that are bad for their health! All because of some fanatical ideology, it’s not right.
