Debunking Risk Myths
World Health Organization
"For individuals who prefer not to consume some or most animal foods, healthful and well planned plant-based meals can provide adequate levels of micronutrients.""Overall, a diet that is predominantly plant-based and low in salt, saturated fats and added sugars is recommended as part of a healthy lifestyle. Such diets are widely associated with a lower risk of premature mortality and offer protection against noncommunicable diseases (NCDs)""Obtaining recommended levels of these micronutrients can still be achieved with an appropriately planned vegan diet that includes a variety of different plant foods." -
