	Vegan nutrition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is an important part of a vegan's life, as it is the foundation for determining which foods should be consumed based on their lifestyle choices.
		Vegan nutrition usually refers to the intake and balance of nutrients throughout a day, and therefore is dually classified under dietary regimes and practices.
		Vegan nutrition, like any healthy diet, relates closely to the practices of limiting the intake of fats, salts, and sugar, as well as avoiding foods which contain high quantities of such substances in order to avoid heightened cholesterol.

	Veganism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Veganism is a strict form of vegetarianism, consisting of abstention from the consumption or use of all animal products, including eggs and dairy products, as well as articles made of bone, leather, feathers, mother of pearl or other materials of animal origin.
		Older people, vegan and non-vegan alike, may find they experience difficulties in absorbing B12 from their food, and pernicious anaemia, caused by a B12 deficiency, is not unknown amongst omnivores.
		Vegans typically have high levels of vitamin C in their diets, which may account for the rarity of anaemia amongst them.

	Vegan Nutrition Information Sheet
		Nutritional guidelines for vegans are essentially similar to those for vegetarians.
		Vegans who may be confined indoors may be recommended a vitamin D supplement.
		Vegan children should be given plenty of nutrient rich foods and need good sources of protein, calcium, vitamin B12 and vitamin D. High fibre foods can fill up a child without filling their nutritional needs as well as interfering with mineral absorption from the intestine.

	Vegetarian / Vegan Nutrition - Vitamin D
		Vegans usually obtain vitamin D from the action of sunlight on the skin or by taking fortified foods such as soya milk, margarine (all of which are fortified by law in the UK), breakfast cereals and vitamin supplements which are made from yeast or other fungi.
		The most significant supply of vitamin D (for omnivores as well as vegans) comes from the action of ultra-violet B light on sterols in the skin.
		In northern latitudes vegan women who are breast feeding should ensure their intake during winter by using fortified foods or taking supplements.

	Vegetarian / Vegan Nutrition - Vitamin B12
		Two subgroups of vegans are at particular risk of B12 deficiency: long-term vegans who avoid common fortified foods (such as raw food vegans or macrobiotic vegans) and breastfed infants of vegan mothers whose own intake of B12 is low.
		Vegan intakes of folate are generally good, particularly if plenty of green vegetables are eaten.
		Vegans using adequate amounts of fortified foods or B12 supplements are much less likely to suffer from B12 deficiency than the typical meat eater.

	VEGAN and vegetarian nutrition
		But it seems that the people who actually question the nutritional aspects of a vegetarian or vegan diet have absolutely no idea how much of anything a person should be getting, and are generally the ones whose diet is lacking in something.
		The calcium intake of vegans tends to be slightly below the recommended optimal amounts but the body does adapt to lower intakes and there have been no reports of calcium deficiency in vegans.
		The fact that vegans have a slightly lower protein intake and exclude meat from their diet encourages their bodies to retain calcium so their dietary need may be lower than the typical omnivore.
