Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Research into the role of essential fatty acids began in the 1920s. Early studies found that primates deprived of ALA showed depleted levels of DHA, which caused abnormalities in retinal function and visual acuity. Other symptoms included extreme thirst and exceptionally dry hair and skin.

When someone says you don't train "functionally," you should just punch them in the face. Ask them how "functional" of a movement that was.

Words cannot express how appreciative I am of his realistic approach and ability to set aside his biases rather than just glamorizing veganism.
I'm still learning to vegan and I'm constantly seeing/hearing vegan horror stories... of course I know better because I actually research this stuff, but it's hard to find unbiased information and these stories still worried me a bit.
Especially if I have a kid someday... it's just cruel for them to make up things like that. Where do the dairy and meat industries draw the line? I've never seen them show any sort of conscience about animal OR human rights. >.>

Great video, thanks.

I actually think it critical that the science and emotion get separated. The PETA website virtually encourages junk food eating and will turn plant based eating into a political event with no appreciable health improvement outcomes.

If information isnt properly referenced I no longer pass it on

I read that book last year. They state several things as nutrition fact, but those things are flat out folklore. I wouldn't recommend that book to people.

"TheFutureOfHealthThe thing that is making it difficult for me to want to return to these forums much is peoples inability to separate 'the science' from the animal rights aspect, which I think need to be completely different conversations entirely. I love animals, and I am all for that aspect of it. But this IS the nutritional section of the forum. Wy does it seem that people here have little to day about it other than 'oh thats good' or something similar? Does the science of vegan nutrition mean little to people? I mean I assume that the health outcome of a vegan diet is important to people as well as the animal rights aspect. This is what gives my fellow vegans bad credibility in my opinion. The ones who do it for animal rights reasons tend not to care if they live off preztils and hummus, and similar junk food, hence these 'vegan horror stories'.
