Dr Nisa Aslam, a GP who is one of the authors of the HSIS report, explains: “The HSIS research found that six in 10 do not examine their health needs before switching to plant-based diets. Awareness of nutrient shortfalls is also very low, with fewer than a fifth of plant-based adherents identifying vitamin B12 as an issue, and no-one name-checked vitamin D despite the fact that nearly all major dietary sources of the ‘sunshine vitamin’ are animal or fish-based. Awareness of zinc, iodine and selenium – other nutrients that are hard to obtain on plant-based diets – is almost non-existent. That’s why taking a multivitamin and multimineral supplement is so vital.”


And just how is plant-based diets "better" for health? Do these people not hear what they say?
