b12 supplements are fundamentally essential for folate defects
nothing to comment on, you make vague assumptions and ad hominem attacks
you simultaneously write it’s complex, imperfect and full of corruption, but also that it’s not unreliable. Pick a stance
what dietary pattern fits the whole global population?
I spent way too much time reading this. Despite being twins, the study shows the vegan group started the study much healther, with a healthier diet, eating less processed meat, with far lower LDL cholesterol. During the study the vegans were made to eat significantly less, and the non-vegan group was forced to eat more than they did before the study. The measures of success included fat loss and insulin again like I mentioned, a poor marker. Simply fasting or eating less would achieve the same results - which is exactly what the vegan group was made to do. There is nothing of value learned here.
correctly set up RCTs with large groups would address the problem but AFAIK no one has ever succeeded
you can eat a close to ancestral diet without living in the same place… your hyperbole and dramatisation is wild. I have visited several farms, none of which treat animals poorly. I’m sure some farms have horrific conditions and should be shut down, but that’s unrelated to vegan nutrition and ventures into whataboutism
Thanks for the discussion but I am done
