It has been proven that vegan diets cause a deficit some essential elements (I can't remember which ones), sufficient enough to cause irrational mood swings in 80% of the people who follow vegetarian diets. This was published in some legitimate health magazine article that was posted here on Free Republic.

YOU STUPID, FREAKIN' IDIOT, THAT IS THE DUMBEST THING I'VE EVER HEARD!!! YOU ARE INSANE!!! I'm sorry, I meant to say I love you.

But seriously, vegans and vegetarians are not the same thing. Vegans eat no animal product whether milk cheese or fish ETC... vegetarians eat all of those things. there is a big difference.

I can't find the article, but I think that is said that the B12 deficiency was not even corrected by supplements and that they thought that it must be an absorption problem. B12 deficiency has been linked to many neurologic symptoms, and even a propensity for alzheimers. Iron deficiency is also a problem for vegans. But don't let me sway you, to each his own. I was simply amused at the statement regarding mood swings, thinking about the angy PETA crowd.
