A lovely video of vegan strongman Patrik Baboumian http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFpip6rxcYY Patrik recently became a world record holder, lifting a weight equivalent to that of a large horse or 22 sacks of potatoes! http://www.ecorazzi.com/2013/09/09/patr ... gan-power/ |

Sure, he become a vegan in 2011 - having enough reserves of essentials to go vegan for a while. Tell me he takes no vitamin or other supplements... Any life-long vegan world champion athletes out there? |

Oh dear... just because one questions the adequacy of a vegan diet for an omnivore species, immediately that means you have no problem with animal cruelty that, I know, does occur, etc etc. The argument ad absurdum.Then out come the red herrings - somehow, the fact that many foods are fortified is relevant. To what? Good thing they are, for vegans.... You really should do Logic 101. As a medical scientist, I do happen to know that being succesful in weightlifting is first of all, nature (the types of muscles and their constituent power generating units) and second, training of those muscles and acquiring technique. Because of their muscles, good weight-lifters will never be marathon runners, and vice versa. A balanced diet is important but unless you know for sure that if said athlete would not be as successful if he consumed a vegetarian or omnivorous diet, you have no argument. |

The 'argument'? There is no 'argument'. The fact is, he has done it and on an entirely plant based diet. And 'red herring'? Government Health Agencies sanction fortification of foods for a reason. The same with animal feed. If your 'logic' held water no meat-eater would ever be deficient in any vitamin or mineral. The fact is nutrient deficiencies and multiple nutrient deficiencies are commonplace. |
