    It's a shame they're getting dogpiled on instead of opening the discussion about what the underlying health issues are and how they should get treated/avoided if one wants to stay vegan.

    Several former vegans [...] say that doctors had told them to eat animal products, but repeatedly ignored this advice until their health problems drove them to desperation.

    Yikes. As a paranoid vegetarian I am more than interested in any feedback whatsoever my doctors have to say about my diet, if they told me to change my diet, I would absolutely look into whatever feedback they had.

    That said, I've never been told by doctors to resume eating animal products and get my bloodwork done annually, with the only deficiency being Vitamin D, which I try my darnedest to keep up. I'm so curious to know what specific symptoms and issues these people had (the article's a little vague: anemic, "brain rebooting," missing period) that convinced them to switch.
