Our knowledge of health is ever-changing. The ADA has been wrong before and will be wrong again. When this happens the ADA will simply revise its position. This is to be expected.
This research has been around for 11 years and to my knowledge has gone unchallenged and mostly ignored:

Just like the research showing that diabetic complications could be averted via normalizing blood sugars in the 1970’s or that gluten could actually be an allergen and that celiac disease is a real condition in the 1990’s.
As a vegetarian or vegan you can definitely survive, but you won't thrive.
- code_duck 16y agoSome text about wheat hardly proves your assertions. That doesn't address how beans, nuts, etc. supposedly drain you of vitamins. Hundreds of millions of people are perfectly healthy eating vegetarian diets. You should turn your attention to people eating the typical American diet... surely they need it more than people who eat big handfuls of vegetables all day.
- awolf 16y agoThat's definitely more than a "text about wheat". I encourage you to read some of it. You'll find answers to your questions about legumes and nuts as well (anti-nutrient density is higher in these types of foods over the rest of vegetables).
- code_duck 16y agoGreat, but I'm still not sure what your point is. Consumption of grains, nuts and legumes is not exclusive to vegetarians. Most people consume more protein than is actually needed, also. Vegetarians aren't plagued with health problems, in my experience, and I don't know of any credible source that says they are. While some people report that they are unhealthy under vegan diets, I can point at plenty of people who are unhealthy under omnivorous diets as well.
