Vegan diet lacks saturated fat? Clearly inaccurate. Makes me wonder about the authenticity of the rest of the list. How can vegans be lacking in vitamin D, given that the main source is not dietary (D is synthesised by the body during exposure to sunlight.)
Could be even worse, people could eat a standard Western diet - plenty of crap lacking just about everything nutritious. A leading cause of Fatass Syndrome.
The rest of the list is semi accurate
Problem is most of these types mean an excess of red meat and come off like Liver King on YouTube
Their metrics are aesthetics and PRs not longevity or aging
B12 is created by the body via intrinsic factor, which only comes to play by eating meat.
B12 is extremely important for the body. Vegans can only get it via outside injection or sublingually.
Nutritional yeast, which is used as a cheese substitute, contains B12.
Most Americans in general are D3 deficient.
Your body creates its own cholesterol. Outside foods have little influence on your body's cholesterol levels. If you eat too much cholesterol, you poop out the excess. High/low cholesterol numbers are a symptom indicating something is wrong within your body. Sadly, most doctors will give people with high cholesterol a statin to artificially lower numbers, and thus mask the underlying problem. This allows the underlying problem to worsen and it usually doesn't get caught until it is so bad that you need expensive medical care. Had the doctor figured out the underlying issue in the first place, it could have probably been fixed with supplements.
Yes.
No.
True, vitamin D is a hormone (not a vitamin) that is made by the human body, in the skin, when sunlight activates cholesterol to produce the vitamin D.
But there is also vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. These are from plants (D2) and animals (D3). Since plants function on minerals, not vitamins, D2 is a fake vitamin, which has a molecular structure similar to D3.
D3 comes from animals, because the sun does the same to them as to humans. So, they accumulate vitamin D in their bodies, which we call D3 to distinquish it from our own vitamin D (which, again, is a hormon and not a vitamin).
D3 is found in most or all animal foods, but is not as good as getting real D from the sun. Also, any food in the store that says it is "fortified vitamin D" (and vitamin A) is NOT real vitamin D3 (or D or D2, for that matter).
It is a chemical made from oil, which has a "molecular structure similar to vitamin D," and therefore, due to Big Agriculture having control of Congress and the USDA, have been able to claim is vitamin D for advertising purposes, without being prosecuted for fraud. But it IS fraud.
The pasteurization process kills A and D3, so they inject the product with these chemicals, and claim it has these nutrients, when in fact it does not.
Which vegetables contain saturated fats outside of coconut or palm? And vitamin D metabolism is hampered by wheat consumption. Even the Vit D from sunshine isn’t used well in wheat’s presence.
