Danish doctor warns: Vegan food may lead to mental retardation
By EMMA R. 7 December 2018



Chief physician Allan M. Lund at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen warns that vegan food can have severe consequences, such as epilepsy and ultimately developmental disorders.

In Denmark, there is now a debate about the suitability of an increasing number of families giving their children only vegan food. Critics are opposed to scrapping all animal products in small children’s diet.

The problem is that poor food, which for example requires the addition of vitamin B12, can have serious consequences for children. And as a result several children on a vegan diet have been treated at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen.

“Such a diet may involve developing different brain symptoms. With muscle weakness, poor contact and epilepsy. And in the long term mental retardation”, says chief physician Allan M. Lund to TV4.

According to Lund, one should not completely remove meat, eggs and dairy products from small children’s diet without first consulting with a dietician.

In addition to developmental disorders, it can also cause nutritional deficiencies.

This guy is completely full of shit and most likely funded by the meat and dairy industry.

That’s why I eat daily pound of meat and three eggs.

It depends on what type of veg food one is eating. Raw food is more nutritious than cooked food.

Rejecting processed foods is a health goal. But if you decided to eliminate all animal-based foods from your diet as well, I believe there is a strong likelihood you're risking long-term health complications.

Most people need animal foods in their diet to stay healthy. Valuable nutrients, including saturated fats, vitamin B12 and sulfur, are found in animal-based foods are common deficiencies in those choosing to eliminate animal foods from their diet

Virtually everyone benefits from some animal protein, previously vegan and vegetarians saw drastic health improvements with the addition of dietary animal foods.

Virtually anyone who replaces fast-food burgers and junk food with fresh vegetables is going to see an improvement in their health initially, as plant foods are an excellent choice if you value your health. Vegetables, and particularly raw vegetables, should be a large part, if not the majority, of your diet and are preferable to sugars, grains and obviously to junk food and fast food. This is one of the reasons why I believe many can benefit from vegetable juicing, because it allows you to get more plant-based foods into your daily diet.

So by all means, base your diet on whole, fresh, organic vegetables! However, be sure you are also including the foods that will allow your body to receive valuable saturated fats, vitamin B12, animal-based omega-3, and sulfur -- namely animal foods!

Sulfur Deficiency, a Commonly Overlooked Pitfall of Avoiding Animal Foods

Sulfur is derived almost exclusively from animal protein such as fish and high-quality (organic and/or grass-fed/pastured) beef and poultry. Meat and fish are considered "complete" as they contain all the sulfur-containing amino acids you need to produce new protein.

Needless to say, those who abstain from animal protein are placing themselves at far greater risk of sulfur deficiency.

Why is this important?

Because sulfur deficiency is pervasive, and may be a contributing factor in:

• Obesity
• Heart disease
• Alzheimer's disease
• Chronic fatigue
And more

Overall sulfur appears to be a highly underestimated molecule with vast health implications. It plays a vital role in the structure and biological activity of both proteins and enzymes, and if you don't have sufficient amounts of sulfur in your body, this deficiency can cascade into a number of health problems as it will affect bones, joints, connective tissues, metabolic processes, and more.

Other areas where sulfur plays an important role include:

• Your body's electron transport system, as part of iron/sulfur proteins in mitochondria, the energy factories of your cells
• Vitamin-B thiamine (B1) and biotin conversion, which in turn are essential for converting carbohydrates into energy
• Synthesizing important metabolic intermediates, such as glutathione
• Proper insulin function. The insulin molecule consists of two amino acid chains connected to each other by sulfur bridges, without which the insulin cannot perform its biological activity
• Detoxification

That’s even more harmful than not eating meat at all.

Meat and animal products are only beneficial if you eat them in small amounts.

Aren’t you familiar with the saying ’Moderation in all things’?

INeedless to say, those who abstain from animal protein are placing themselves at far greater risk of sulfur deficiency.

Beans are packed with sulfur (and they have 4x more protein than meat), that's why they make you fart.

Good point,It depends on which blood type one has and some other genetical traits. Please,just google “diet type for rhesus factor and acidity level of humans with 0 blood type”
