I Sometimes Wonder What the Hell Is Wrong With People

i wonder why doctors support vegan diets. dont listen to doctors that say you should go on a vegan diet. i listened to an interview or a vegan doctor he thinks that people are herbivores and that scares me that he is a doctor. even vegetarian diets can be unhealthy. I have tired a vegetarian diet, and i was born with no allergies except maybe to alcohol and i gained an allergies from vegetarianism, i became allergic to nuts and soy. so there is no where i can get my protein from, when i did i had to stop because i had a protein deficiency.I can never get my health back, i can never just stop being allergic to this, so i from experience can say these diets are dangerous for your health.

In their defense, red meat is linked to heart disease and cured meats are linked to cancer. Still, to advocate veganism outright is poor medical advice. Veganism isn't really a diet so much as it is a way of life. French fries and Oreos are technically vegan, and they aren't good for you. A doctor should advocate which foods to eat and which to avoid, not to advocate a specific philosophy.

That said, my diet is a vegan one and I'm in the best health of my life. Granted there are other factors at play. While I can say that I've never developed any ill side-effects from my years of being a vegetarian, not even taking a single sick day, it's still imprudent to blame a diet for all of your woes or successes. Health requires a holistic approach, and diet alone can only go so far.
