Can I ask do you bed to take supplements as part of your vegan diet or do you get all of Your necessary iron, protein etc from the diet? Just something I've always been curious about
FluffTheDog wrote: » Well a lot of people try to be as healthy as they can instead of just eating what they want. No I don't take supplements. I was anaemic most of my life (female), and my recent blood test showed iron level of 11.6 after only 4 months on a vegan diet. I think it needs to be a little higher, but that's the highest it's ever been!! Everything else was good too. Protein is a non-issue really. The world health organisation says 5% of calories from protein is enough. So unless you're undereating, there's no way you wouldn't get enough. Anyway I don't want to turn this thread into vegan vs non-vegan, but thanks for asking

I gave it up for a while and felt terruble and weak With regard to your other comment about a mammal drinking another's milk not being normal ? Again who says ? All animals will drink another mammals milk if they are orphaned , this has been shown millions of times Humans are top of the food chain - this was achieved by eating plants and animals of all kinds
