>In lots of the most longest lived place in the world they eat plenty of cheese and milk, Sardinia, Nicoya, Ikaria. There is nothing to support the claim that a strict vegan diet is the healthiest.
I never made a claim that a strict vegan diet is the healthiest. Other people are saying it's unhealthy and the least healthy diet (in comparison to nothing). I'm merely pointing out that it's not. A well planned vegan diet can have many health benefits and a diet that over consumes dairy and meat products, such as a typical western diet (ie. not a mediterranean one) can cause several health problems. Also, I merely gave milk as an example and supplied two links, which show conclusive things. It was to spur the interest in a person to go read about the others. Although as I said, I'm not sure about fish, I've never read about it. I don't really need to now, as I'm not eating it on ethical grounds, so I don't care if it has health benefits.
>ignore all of the studies showing negative effects of soy
which ones show anything definitive?
>only see studies related to meat
lots show definitive, conclusive things
Actually being a scientist means I don't bother with any 'science news' that comes misinterpreted from a gains blog, or any other mainstream news. Even blogs or websites claiming to spread science news can typically do it with severe bias and in a clickbaity manner. I have read about both meat and soy and have found. Keep in mind, I'm not a vegan for health reasons, and if anything was demonstratively bad for me I'd stop eating it / using it.
>btw, you've been working out for years and your physique is still full on otter mode. I don't even work out and I still look more built than you.
well, this is conclusive evidence you haven't actually read what I've been writing as I wrote twice that I've been working out for a year, not years. I also don't want to be big, just fit and healthy. This is /fit/ not /roids/
You eat meat culturally, this is new, abstract and attacking the values you learned / where cultured to accept, so you're being hostile. It's ok.

>Bullshit. There is no vegan foods that are as effective at muscle building as animal proteins.
This is just not a true statement. I don't know what else to say. You can get all essential amino acids and proteins on a well balanced vegan diet. Just like on a nonvegan diet. The reason they all eat animal products is because they're cultured to. It helps keep in place one of the most powerful industries on the planet. Also, there are lots of bodybuilders / power lifters on vegan diets. You're just making sensationalised statements without anything to back them up.
>he problem with veganism is that it excludes a large amount of foods that you can eat and therefore a large amount of vitamins and minerals for no reason.
It excludes a large amount of foods but not the latter. There are ethical and environmental reasons. Even health for some people due to the benefits.
>And I've already shown that saturated fat is necessary for optimal test production. Vegans have lower test on average than omnivores, that is a fact.
I don't believe you have shown this. Can you actually supply anything _conclusive_ that backs up this loaded statement.
>Vegans are especially lacking in vitamin b12.
This is true, you need to be careful and take b12 fortified foods and a suppliment. But you need to be careful on any diet. You can get health problems from any diet if you're not watching the quantities of foods you're eating / not eating.
Example: If I carelessly don't watch B12 intake I might go deficient, conversley I can carelessly not care about my cholesterol. Whereas someone eating meat and dair products, if they do it carelessly, they can get cholestorol problems.
>There is no evidence that moderate amount of animal products are bad for you
Are you defining 'moderate' to be 'the amount needed such that you won't fit into the bracket associated with health problems'?
You're missing the point completey. One can be healthy on a vegan and nonvegan diet. And one can also be extremely unhealthy on both, easily. People are making false claims about veganism that I'm showing are wrong or conversly are true for a nonvegan diet in parallel ways. Saying that 'vegan diets' are unhealthy is just as senseless/ meaningless as saying 'nonvegan diets' are unhealthy. If you optimised either they'd be healthy.
>The problem you vegans is that you can't understand that it's only relevant for ethical reasons, but instead you think that it is better in every conceivable way. I've literally heard vegans say that if everyone become one, all of the world's problems would be solved.
