![]() ![]() Let’s first take a look at the claims by way of reviewing the evidence: The warning to Vegans This is nothing short of a scandal, and I’ll explain why. However, there’s a lot more going on here than a casual reader might suspect. What does she base her argument on? The fact that plants contain lower amounts of choline that, say, eggs and some meats. Nutrient involved in brain health, warns a nutritionist in the online journal BMJĭr Derbyshire thinks that people eating a plant-based diet, particularly if they are women of childbearing age, may not be getting sufficient choline in their diet and “should look at supplements”. Planet is commendable, but risks worsening an already low intake of an essential ‘The momentum behind a move to plant-based and vegan diets for the good of the In the Press Release entitled ‘Suggested move to plant-based diets risks worsening brain health nutrient deficiency’ Dr Derbyshire claims that the UK is “failing to recommend or monitor dietary levels of choline”. No, all of the health editors and journalists got their information from a Press Release about an article written by Dr Emma Derbyshire in the British Medical Journal. It turns out that the story is NOT, as the media would have us believe, based upon any study that shows vegans have defective brains. Why are our vegan brains about to rot? And what is the terrifying evidence that has eluded all nutritional researchers until now that should make vegans and anyone thinking of adopting a plant-based diet consider the error of their ways before their brains turn to mush? A practice more commonly called spreading ‘Fake News’. Perhaps this is understandable because the headline, as I will reveal in the course of this article is, at best, reflective of lazy ‘hack’ journalism (the product of bored, disinterested writers who think that journalism requires no more than the ability to re-write a press release without bothering to check the facts) and, at worst, collusion in the deceitful practice of spreading fallacious information on behalf of organisations with vested interests.

The BBC Health Editor, Caroline Parkinson, led with a headline: The brain nutrient vegans need to know about in an article that went on to claim that a vegan diet could be deficient in choline, a nutrient that is vital for a healthy brain. Here’s how the story unfolded: an item came up on my newsfeed late last night, and by this morning it was being promulgated by various national mainstream media outlets. Let’s take a look at the evidence…pay attention though as we’re about to uncover yet another blatant case of misinformation attacking Veganism and discover how organisations with vested interests are pushing a self-serving agenda to deliberately mislead the public, causing fear and confusion in an attempt to halt the decline of animal agriculture and the growth of veganism. ![]() Suddenly the only diet that has ever been shown to reverse the biggest killer of our times – Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), the same diet that has been shown to reverse type 2 diabetes, protect and lower the risk against virtually every type cancer, and the only diet that has reversed Multiple Sclerosis as well as prevent Alzheimer’s disease is, according the national media outlets, going to rot our brains! Really? Today, Friday 30th August 2019 media sources reported on a new health warning aimed at vegans and anyone thinking of adopting a plant-based diet: take heed fellow vegans, according to the reports, our brains could be rotting from lack of one essential nutrient – choline! ![]()
