First it was an issue about protein, then we found out recycled B12 is better than getting it straight from the source, now we aren’t getting enough choline? Choline is an essential dietary nutrient, but the amount produced by the liver is not enough to meet the requirements of the human body. In 1998, recognizing the importance of choline, the US Institute of Medicine recommended minimum daily intakes. These range from 425 mg/day for women to 550 mg/day for men, and 450 mg/day and 550 mg/day for pregnant and breastfeeding women, respectively, because of the critical role the nutrient has in fetal development. I guess university degrees and working at the top of your field must be getting easier since, being vegan since birth, I can’t possibly have been getting enough of this smart food as all the people eating meat! A vegan product is one that does not contain any animal-derived ingredients and has not been tested on animals.

Vegan and Plant-Based Diets Worsen Brain Health Vegan and Plant-Based Diets Worsen Brain Health

You will suffer from important nutrients if you do not eat vegan as well – from your point of view it would mean that simply because someone does not follow a plant based diet he would have all important nutrients. Even when only eating fast food. And that’s total bullshit! More needs to be done to educate healthcare professionals and consumers about the importance of a choline-rich diet, and how to achieve this,” she writes. In fact we have highly processed food being passed off as Vegan or Vegetarian in the form of Beyond Burger or Impossible Burger. Yet the Vegan community is dumbfounded by this product because it’s fake processed meat. Ingredients: Glucose-fructose syrup, water, acids (citric acid, lactic acid, malic acid), flavourings, colours (E133, E150d, E163), preservatives (E202,E211).Further, there are peer reviewed research on adverse effects of excess choline on our health which happens on a high animal fat diet. This isn’t Neuroscience, this is nonsense. The meat and dairy industry’s last desperate attempt to scare people with lies, deceit and misinformation about Vegetarianism just so they can keep their wallets fat. The animal cruelty going on, the health consequences of eating animals continuing so the doctors in Pharmaceuticals can become zillionaires.

Choline is critical to brain health, particularly during fetal development. It also influences liver function, with shortfalls linked to irregularities in blood fat metabolism as well as excess free radical cellular damage, writes Dr Derbyshire. Totally absurd! In that case, in India, large section of population are vegetarians for centuries and some people don’t even take milk like vegans, and surprisingly those vegetarians don’t match with Ignored were Comments by the National Institutes of Health on the rarity of choline deficiency syndromes. This comprehensive document indicated there was insufficient data to establish estimated average requirements for choline.

Omitted was the fact that of the top 12 dietary sources of choline listed by the National Institutes of Health, 6 are whole plant foods including roasted soybeans, shitake mushrooms, red potatoes, wheat germ, kidney beans, and quinoa with Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and peanuts close behind on the list. Absolutely ridiculous, obviously biased and nothing more than an opinion. Your average Joe might read an article like this and take it as gospel, but for anyone with even the slightest bit of knowledge and critical thinking knows this is rubbish. No one should be interested in the opinion of anybody, let alone someone from a meat advisory panel. The science does not support the claim of insufficient choline intake amongst vegans, and the largest nutrition advisory on the planet clearly state’s based on the evidence, that a whole food plant based diet is adequate for all stages of life. Glucose-fructose syrup, water, acids (citric acid, lactic acid, malic acid), flavourings, colours (E133, E150d, E163), preservatives (E202,E211).

It may be time for the UK government’s independent Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition to reverse this, she suggests, particularly given the mounting evidence on the importance of choline to human health and growing concerns about the sustainability of the planet’s food production.Tbe person who published this study in BMJ is a member of the meat and dairy advisory committee and she was heavily criticised by other scientists for her clearly biased take on the topic. Vegans can get plenty of Choline through tofu, pulses and legumes and our body also makes it own choline. This is clearly scare mongering by the meat and dairy industry due to the rise in Veganism.

My journey into veganism has also been coupled with a love for writing. I used this passion to share my vegan experiences, to educate others about the benefits of plant-based living, and to advocate for animal rights. Is there anything that a Vegan first do? Going Vegan will not save the planet (but it’s one Hell if a selling point). Going Vegan is an elimination diet. To make matters worse, the UK government has failed to recommend or monitor dietary levels of this nutrient — choline — found predominantly in animal foods, says Dr. Emma Derbyshire, of Nutritional Insight, a consultancy specializing in nutrition and biomedical science. The momentum behind a move to plant-based and vegan diets for the good of the planet is commendable, but risks worsening an already low intake of an essential nutrient involved in brain health, warns a nutritionist in the online journal BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health.Whilst every effort has been taken to ensure the accuracy of the product information provided, products and their ingredients may change.
