What about iron deficiency in vegan diets?

[@Human_Herbivore]

There is no iron deficiency on a plant based diet. Even my wife was anaemic her whole life until going vegan. That aside the problem is meat contains heme iron that they body can't regulate whereas non-heme which it can, the latter is in plants. Also, a high intake of heme iron has been strongly linked to several cancers.

@Human_Herbivore can you please support with references .Thank you.

@@tarmahomedjoosub5552 you can't put links in comments but if you just Google heme-iron cancer or heme versus non-heme and you'll get tons of responses. One of the things about iron is also that dairy intake inhibits it's uptake too.

It’s very damaging. I’ve lost the “battle” with my father’s doctors and dieticians. He’s been very sick and dying now but is not interested in the help I’m willing to provide because of the advice he’s getting from his doctors. Although at one time he was very interested until he was “warned” of the “risks” of a plant based diet with his condition. Not an uncommon situation I know. Very sad. That cookbook looks amazing. 💚

GPs have very limited teachings and knowledge of WFPB diets so they are in fact ignorant and need to be educated about it.

Why does it need need two people to explain this ?

[@ruthsmith1694]

Why not?
