      With a variety of unhealthy sideffects? Even people whose whole job it is to be vegan(vegan youtubers), reported having medical problems. Mothers that had trouble producing milk and babies not getting enough nutrients and so on and so forth.

        If it was impossible for people to survive on a vegan diet, don’t you think vegans would start to die off en masse or something? Cherry picked muh vegan Youtubers are not an argument.

          Wait, so I provide evidence of people stopping being vegan because it causes them medical problems, and you think that that isn’t evidence that being vegan causes you medical problems?

            It’s not evidence of anything. You yourself said it was anecdotal.

            “I’ve got plenty of hearsay and conjecture, those are kinds of evidence”

              Feel as you want, it’s enough evidence for me. People paid to be vegan couldn’t do it, even though they wanted to.

                Researched scientific article: dismissed

                A handful of vegan Youtubers: ironclad evidence

                Gotta love carnist logic 👍

                  People with a financial incentive and willingness to be vegan, with all the resources, couldn’t do it. They certainly had all the info this study did. To dismiss them because one study says otherwise is foolish, and the study is locked behind a paywall, I can’t read it to determine how long it lasted, how many participants it had. I’m basically just going off the abstract.

                    How many “participants” do you have? What’s your sample size here? Certainly not statistically significant enough to draw this kind of absolute conclusion (“You cannot survive on a vegan diet”).
