Auke de Haan: The Vegan Deception, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

The Vegan Deception takes a critical, evidence-based look at the health claims made on behalf of plant-based diets, drawing on nutritional science to examine where purely vegan eating can create gaps in essential nutrients. The book does not dismiss vegan ethics or environmental arguments, but focuses specifically on what the research shows about long-term health outcomes, supplementation needs, and the populations most at risk from deficiencies.

The author reviews studies on nutrient shortfalls common in vegan diets, including vitamin B12, omega-3 fatty acids, iron, calcium, and zinc, and examines which groups such as children, pregnant women, and older adults may face particular challenges. The book argues for nutrition decisions based on scientific data rather than dietary trends, and makes a case for a more open conversation about the limitations as well as the benefits of plant-based eating. The tone is measured and factual, avoiding advocacy in either direction.
