Abstract in brief

  • The study examined the micronutrient intake and status among omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans in Switzerland, highlighting the growing popularity of vegetarian and vegan diets.
  • The research involved measuring dietary intake and nutrient levels of vitamins and minerals in participants aged 18-50 years, revealing significant differences in nutrient deficiencies across the three groups.
  • Despite lower intakes of certain vitamins and minerals, particularly in vegetarians and vegans, the use of supplements and fortified foods can help meet nutritional requirements for all diet types.

@drkohilathas @KimKardashian Such bullshit, no citations at all just claims taken out of thin air. Here is a study from Switzerland that shows how vegans and vegetarians aren't deficient in any vitamins compared to omnivores https://t.co/ZN5ud9vDxa

In this study micronutrient insufficiency seems widely prevalent regardless of whether one is vegan or not. Well balanced appropriately supplemented diets are important to mitigate risk for everyone, even if the cut offs aren't associated with symptoms https://t.co/StoBZOgyLu https://t.co/ngTRWZgYDQ

@drkohilathas @KimKardashian Such bullshit, no citations at all just claims taken out of thin air. Here is a study from Switzerland that shows how vegans and vegetarians aren't deficient in any vitamins compared to omnivores https://t.co/ZN5ud9vDxa

@zinocker However, both vegan & omnivorous diets have specific pros & cons. Compared to vegans, omnivores often have insufficient intake of Mg, vit C, vit E, vit B3, folates, vegetables, & fibers. The dichotomy of omnivor=perfect & vegan=insufficient does not exist. https://t.co/xEcv7KTfS6

@NutritionalThe3 It was a simple question. I note that you didn't answer it, which speaks volumes about your credibility. Iron deficiency is common - but it is not a particular problem for vegans: "Prevalence of Fe deficiency was comparable across all diet groups." DOI: 10.1007/s00394-015-1079-7

@KemMinnick https://t.co/cUDgs1ve3J All groups had similar zinc intakes, and there was a reduction in serum zinc the more plant based the diet was. But this did not result in 0 zinc in serum. Phytate does not reduce bioavailability by 100% not even close. https://t.co/zep9hFnoAN

They also don't tend to do basic Google searches to answer their questions. For instance: omni, vegetarian, and vegans in Switzerland all seem to be doing pretty much fine. Granted, they were selected "healthy" from each category. https://t.co/Qdg0FWwAEI
