Veganism & vegetarianism

[Aractus]

Rhythm: Hey interesting point, I didn't know that about the canine teeth! Or whatever they're called. It's a pity I didn't know that back then. I'm sure the idiot would have just moved on to one of the other bingo "arguments" in order to continue to project onto me. He was such a cock.

I'm grown up now, so I no longer get angry about this fucking bastard kind of enormous wank puppetry shitting in my face fuckballs. I just move the conversation in a different direction as soon as possible, maybe by distracting them with a yoyo.

What the fuck is wrong with you? I haven't once in this thread insulted you, and yet you come back and call me a fucking bastard? Why because I study this, and in a year's time I'll be qualified to practise as a nutritionist if I choose? And I'm giving you free scientific and up to date information you ungrateful rat.

You're every bit as delusional as a theist.

You have your confirmation-bias, and cling to your supposed "facts".

MentalGiant said he follows 80/10/10 by Doug Graham.

In the book Graham doesn't recommend B12 supplements for vegans, or even getting tested. He claims you'll get enough if you "don't obsessively wash your fruit and veg", and to prefer fruit and veg grown in "richly composted organic soil" despite there being absolutely no evidence for that assertion of his. He also says not to use toothpaste, and to brush and floss with only water. He claims that your body will convert all the ALA to DHA that it needs; again this is not supported by any evidence at all. The scientific litterateur says that the human body can only convert a small amount of ALA to DHA; and it appears the conversion rate gets worse, not better, for vegans. Is it any wonder that people get cavities following this diet? He doesn't even know that it is sugar that causes cavities. It is the only thing in whole foods that causes cavities, which is why so many people on 80/10/10 get cavities. Bacteria ferment the sugar, this creates acid, and that creates caries which can then progress to cavities. People who eat a lot of fruit eat a lot of naturally occurring sugar, and that leads to directly to cavities. Finally, he also claims medication shouldn't be needed if you have a balanced 80/10/10 diet - which is bullshit.

I'm not claiming any of those are your arguments Robv, but I'm pointing out to you that they're terrible arguments and advice that need to be ignored for health.
