A member asked:
What is a vegan diet? is it healthy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All plant-based: Vegans have the moral high ground. The claims that it is more healthy have been discredited by the really big studies over the past decade, showing no difference from other folks in longevity or any other category of disease when you control for other habits. You'll get seriously sick and may die if you do not supplement with B12 and probably iron, calcium, vitamin D and some others.
