| Who Stole My Food? |
| The Nutritionally Adequate Diet (continued) |
A vegan avoids all animal source foods. The vegetable source foods
do not contain many of the essential nutrients in adequate amounts for good
health and thus require a higher degree of supplementation in order to
achieve adequate completeness and balance. These supplements are
generally derived from animal sources or have been artificially produced,
which is likely to be a no-no as well. If vegans rigorously follow these
concepts, I have not found any of the foods they normally consume that can
adequately provide for good brain health.
The vegetarian diets can include milk and egg and if these foods are a part
of the diet, it can be nutritionally adequate, but generally requires more
supplementation than the other diets which rely on a larger variety of foods,
including the cholesterol containing foods.
This conclusion was reached by comparing the nutrients present in healthy
brain tissue to the nutrients found in numerous vegetable source foods.
Why should you choose a diet other than vegan or vegetarian?
The reason for choosing your diet should be, as a top priority, to provide the
nutrients in a complete and proper balance for optimal health. The bigger
problem is with knowing what that requires and which foods can meet those
needs. The main emphasis in the medical profession has been on heart
health. I believe this has been a huge mistake. In my studies over the past
fifty years there have been an abundance of claims for every kind of diet, all
claiming to provide the best heart health.
Unfortunately, most of those claims have led
to our current health crisis.
Since 1960 the incidence of chronic disorders has been on the increase for
all types of disorders. Since these disorders are seldom related to bacterial
or viral infections the most likely cause is considered to be a lack of
adequate nutrients. With respect to autism, the literature has reported that
more than forty nutrients are deficient.
