Vegen

Vegans often face a significant risk of vitamin B12 deficiency. They may also experience deficiencies in other nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D, iodine, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, selenium, vitamin A, and protein (Koedera, 2022). Regarding children, Desmond's article indicates that a vegan diet can have a significant negative impact on children's growth. For example, vegan children are notably shorter in height than their omnivorous counterparts (Desmond et al., 2021).
