Vegan Health, a website that I contribute content to has added a useful new resource which is in keeping with the website’s mission to provide:
- Reviews of the scientific literature related to the health benefits of a vegan diet.
- Discussions about concerns related to vegan nutrition.
- Recommendations for nutrients that can be low in the diets of some vegans.
The new resource, Nutrition Tips for Vegans, consolidates essential nutrition information that a vegan needs to know into one article. The article addresses protein, iron, calcium, iodine, selenium, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins A, B12, and D. There are links to more extensive information about these nutrients. Colorful graphics illustrate plant sources of protein, vitamin C, and calcium. The article includes recommendations for supplements for vegans. Vegan Health is a credible resource that provides evidence-based information about vegan nutrition.
