It's pretty common for vegans to suffer hair loss and develop dark circles under their eyes (anemia iirc) Pass

        Lots of “non-traditional” sources. The Reddit story might have something worthwhile. https://www.reddit.com/r/vegan/comments/5y8o33/do_yall_have_dark_circles/ https://www.reddit.com/r/vegan/comments/5y8o33/do_yall_have_... It doesn’t sound like it’s a common problem, from my cursory investigation

      I meant reliable sources, i.e. scientific papers. For every bonkers assertion you will find "evidence" by "just googling it". I would be careful not to get trapped in confirmation bias in this way.

        There's a wealth of information out there, even scientific papers. Additionally there are thousands of anecdotal reports on vegan forums. Like I said, just google it. Well documented phenomenon

  Do you have a reference for the incidence rates of those side-effects? It'd be useful to compare and contrast those against the risks of food poisoning from undercooked and contaminated animal products, and the sense of having supported and received food from potentially unsanitary animal product preparation centres.

  You could write a stack of books on the maladies of excessive animal consumption. And another stack on the environmental cost.
