Any Vegetarians/Vegans here?

[James2014]

A friend of mine is glutose intolerant and allergic to most nuts, as such he cannot eat almost any processed food (including beer!) An no I'm not making this up.

Should he go vegan?

Firstly, I assume you mean gluten intolerant rather than glutose, if he was glutose intolerant than he would not be able to eat either meat or plants!


Yes, he should still go vegan as he can still eat a wide range of grains to get the majority of his protein, including rice, quinoa, sourgum, millet, buckwheat, corn and amaranth, in addition to the vegetables that are rich in protein such as broccoli. He will also be able to eat mycoprotein, a complete protein. To get lysine he can either take supplements or eat soya, beans and pulses. He wouldn't be able to eat many processed foods, but most health food shops will sell vegan gluten free bread for example. He would have a very healthy diet indeed if he was vegan


Now, if I am cherry picking and data mining then it should be really easy to prove. Just provide some studies showing people on a well balanced vegan diet are unhealthy.
