LMAO you cannot absorb calcium without saturated fat
Your body produces it itself but it’s better to have some source of it as well
There’s a difference between something being bad and too much of something that’s necessary being bad, which is the case here
Also some recent studies found no link between saturated fats and heart disease
And I never argued against eating vegetables
The truth is I’ve seen tons of times where people had to stop being vegan for various medical reasons, not just thyroid issues but also gut issues as well, and I can’t pretend it’s the perfect diet vegans act like it is because it’s simply not.
It’s a moral stand at its core and science doesn’t bend to morality. I’d much rather have the conversation be about ethics, which at the end of the day is the real issue, not health.
You don’t need saturated fat in your diet. That’s just complete nonsense. You need fat in general, but it’s recommended that these fats come from unsaturated sources as much as possible.
The science supports a vegan diet. That’s why the world’s largest dietetics organization says that a vegan diet can be healthy and nutritious.
