A new study found that children reared on a vegan diet may have stunted growth and other health problems compared to those raised on a diet that includes meat.
The study was conducted by researchers at the University College London and the Children’s Memorial Health Institute. They looked at data from healthy children ages 5 to 10 in Poland.
The study found that the children raised on a vegan diet were 3 centimeters shorter than their meat-eating counterparts. The children were also three times likely to suffer from a vitamin B deficiency.
The vegan children, however, had less body fat and better levels of cholesterol that’s linked to heart disease.
The study also found that vegan children had lower bone mass and 4% to 6% lower bone mineral density. This could lead to osteoporosis in later life.
“We found the vegans had higher intakes of nutrients that indicated an ‘unprocessed’ type of plant -based diet, which is in turn linked to lower body fat and better cardiovascular risk profile. On the other hand, their lower intakes of protein, calcium, and vitamins B12 and D may explain their less favorable bone mineral and serum vitamin concentrations,” said Dr. Małgorzata Desmond, one of the authors of the study.
The study also found that there were negative health outcomes associated with a vegetarian diet compared to a vegan diet because many of the vegetarian meals were composed of processed foods.

“We are learning that just eating plant-based diets is no guarantee of health, we still need to select healthy foods,” said Desmond, who is also a researcher at the Children’s Memorial Health Institute.
The study was published March 19 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition . Here’s more about non-meat food products:

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
