> there are several important brain nutrients that simply do not exist in plants or fungi. Creatine, carnosine, taurine, EPA and DHA omega-3 (the third kind can be found in plants), haem iron and vitamins B12 and D3 generally only occur naturally in foods derived from animal products This is demonstrably false nonsense. Omega-3 fatty acids exist in almost all plants (especially leafy greens) and is synthesized to EPA/DHA in the body. If you eat junk food with high omega-6 content, the conversion process won't be efficient enough, and you need to take an algae-based EPA/DHA supplement; but unlike nasty fish from the polluted ocean, this supplement comes from a hermetic lab with third party purity testing. The rest of the nutrients purported to be lacking in a plant-based diet and be debunked with a few easy web searches as well. Obviously, one has to be mindful of macro and micro-nutrient consumption, but this is true with any diet, and is even more so if health is of concern.
