Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for individuals during all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, and adolescence, and for athletes.” Which doesn’t seem to be in alignment with your comment. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19562864/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19562864/

    Removing one of the most nutritious sources of food from one's diet makes planning a health diet harder. And then, because it is harder, it is also more risky. That is what I consider to be common sense.
