What people are saying
The social discussions emphasize key findings of the study, including higher intakes of nutrients like B12 and vitamin E among vegans, and debate whether vegan diets can meet health needs without supplements, with words like 'favorable', 'higher', and 'debate' reflecting their tone and focus on implications.
Most discussions recognize the findings from the study that vegan children can have favorable nutrient intakes, indicating some agreement with the research.
There is strong curiosity about the study's implications, with many posts citing specific nutrients and discussing potential health impacts.
Postings include references to data, such as higher B12 levels in vegans, and debates about fortification and supplementation, showing moderate engagement.
The discussions highlight concerns and debates about dietary adequacy and policy implications, suggesting a moderate level of perceived impact.
Abstract in brief
- The study found that vegan children had the highest overall intake of several micronutrients like vitamin E, B6, folate, magnesium, and iron compared to vegetarian and omnivorous children, with vegans also consuming healthier fats such as more polyunsaturated fatty acids.
- Omnivorous children generally had higher intakes of vitamin B6, calcium, iodine, and DHA (an important omega-3 fatty acid), especially without supplements.
- The results suggest that in this group of 13-year-olds in Germany, vegan diets can provide a more favorable intake of certain nutrients and fats, but different groups' nutrient intakes vary significantly depending on supplementation and diet type.]

@uskolzaichik @IrenIshii "Быть вегетарианцем" не равно "не кормить полноценно". Просто ко всему нужно подходить с умом и не манкировать обследованиями и анализами. Нам об этом говорили на лекциях по школьной физиологии в университете аж в 1994 году. И статьи есть https://t.co/cVcoD9Wmyr
@YuriNoirProduc1 @4linblue1 @LTebart Da du scheinbar sehr viel Ahnung vom Thema hast, kannst du uns bestimmt auch erklären, wo diese Studie Fehler enthalten soll: https://t.co/21zXZWCIp2 Falls Fachenglisch zu schwierig ist, hier eine Zusammenfassung auf deutsch: https://t.co/gZGeBY2zcD

@thermonomix @itsdavidramms @Rich_Cooper https://t.co/3DoiKGuPxc https://t.co/ajmcuaICmL https://t.co/LSdJ95vHQY I could go all day. You have yet to show me evidence that one cannot get sufficient nutrients on a vegan diet.
@thermonomix @itsdavidramms @Rich_Cooper Cereal fortification is not for the 2% of the population who are vegan, especially considering a large proportion of cereals are not vegan…and because B12 is water soluble, it’s more bioavailable (your favourite word) through supplements. https://t.co/LSdJ95vHQY https://t.co/6BB0cBukus
@thermonomix @itsdavidramms @Rich_Cooper Which is impossible to achieve in one’s diet? Can you provide evidence that vegans suffer from vitamin A deficiency? https://t.co/PiMkNak8BR https://t.co/xxrA7iGRSX https://t.co/V4tAQmoen1 https://t.co/KihnrqUbiJ I could keep going

@DoctorTro @MJPadula @NYCMayor @pran_dr It is mainly supplements - as shown by Vegans in VeChi (>97% of whom supplement) having dramatically higher intakes of B12 than omnivores Doi:10.1007/s00394-021-02753-3 But, hey, if it makes you feel any better just assume they cheat
