Exactly.
Vegetarians - who are at least getting some iron and B-12 from eggs and dairy are still going to have trouble getting enough iron, unless they eat a LOT of dairy and eggs - several oz at every meal.
Add in extensive exercise, and iron deficiency can become a real problem (anemia is a problem for marathoners in general, vegetarian marathoners have even more of a problem with anemia... I can't imagine a vegan marathoner avoiding anemia, even with supplements) |
