	Veganism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vegans typically have high levels of vitamin C in their diets, which may account for the rarity of anaemia amongst them.
		Vegans are recommended to eat foods with vegan B12 added (such as fortified soy milk, fortified margarines, many commercial breakfast cereals), certain brands of nutritional yeast, or dietary supplements (a good multivitamin will likely include B12 in sufficient quantities).
		Vegan dietician Brenda Davis claims current research indicates as many as 50% of people with anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa self-proclaim a vegetarian diet as a cover for their avoidance of eating "meat" or other "high fat foods".

	The vegan diet for infants and children
		Vegan preschoolers in the US were found to have generous intakes of protein, vitamins, and minerals; their diets exceeded recommended intakes for all nutrients studied, again with the exception of calcium
		Regrettably, there have been few recent studies looking at the long-term effects of a vegan diet, especially as it is believed that the foundations for many chronic diseases of adulthood have their beginnings in childhood.
		Commercial, fortified, vegan milks such as Plamil pea and soya milks can be added to the diet of vegan toddlers around the same age provided that the child is growing normally, has an appropriate weight and height for age, and is eating a variety of table foods including soya products, pulses, grains, fruits, and vegetables.

	RedOrbit - Health - Low-Fat Vegan Diet May Spur Weight Loss
		He pointed out that the diet improved the women's sensitivity to insulin, a hormone that ushers sugar from the blood and into cells to be used for energy.
		The vegan diet improved women's insulin sensitivity to a greater a degree than the comparison diet did -- though the difference was not statistically significant, meaning the finding could be due to chance.
		Women in the current study found the vegan diet easy to follow, according to Barnard, because they were not asked to count calories or keep tabs on portion sizes.

	Diagnose-Me: Condition: A Vegan Diet
		Nutritional guidelines for vegans are essentially similar to those for vegetarians, although vegans lack the option of gaining certain nutrients from dairy products and eggs.
		Fortunately, as with vitamin B12, vegans can obtain vitamin D from vegetable margarines, soy milk and certain other foods which are fortified with vitamin D. In addition, our bodies make vitamin D when exposed to adequate sunshine, so vegans without access to sunshine should increase their vitamin D intake accordingly.
		For longer-term vegans who have not been too careful about consuming enough B12 (in the form of supplements or fortified foods), it would be wise to have B12 levels assessed and to commence dietary supplementation immediately.

	Vegan Action \| FAQ's
		Vegan foods, such as whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans, are low in fat, contain no cholesterol, and are rich in fiber and nutrients.
		Vegans can get all the protein they need from legumes (e.g., beans, tofu, peanuts) and grains (e.g., rice, corn, whole wheat breads and pastas); calcium from broccoli, kale, collard greens, tofu, fortified juices and soymilks; iron from chickpeas, spinach, pinto beans, and soy products; and B12 from fortified foods or supplements.
		Although 'organic' foods may be preferred for many of the same reasons that vegan foods are (animal welfare, environmental quality, and health), a food is usually considered vegan regardless of whether or not it is organic.

	Vegan / Vegetarian Diet: Weight-Loss Strategies for Vegans
		Because vegan diets tend to be somewhat lower in fat than other kinds of vegetarian diets and than diets that contain meat, they are often lower in calories, which will help with weight loss.

	BBC NEWS \| Have Your Say \| Are vegan diets harmful for children?
		The vegan diet which we eat has all the nutritional factors that an adult or child needs, but does not have all the harmful effects of saturated fats, growth hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, etc, contained in meats.
		Children of vegans are often actually healthier than their peers due to the fact that the parents are much more knowledgeable about nutrition and make sure they get the correct foods rather than the muck a lot of children live on.
		I guess that there are benefits to the vegan diet, but there are also benefits to meat eating, which is why the mouth is equipped with teeth for both purposes.
