In the US NHANES survey, 68% of adults who called themselves vegetarian reported meat, poultry or fish in their 24-hour dietary recalls. How vegetarians are defined can change what the same data show.
A 2026 study of 56 plant drinks sold in Turkey found more than twice as much protein in soy drinks as in oat drinks, while oat drinks were higher in sugar. European data, the cholesterol evidence and what to check on the carton.
A German study found lower height and BMI scores in vegan children aged 10 and over than in vegetarians. The vegan group was 12 participants; what the study can and cannot show, and what ESPGHAN advises parents.
Section 12 of Turkey’s food labelling guideline sets out how vegan and vegetarian foods may be named: permitted and banned wording, the trace rule, restaurant menus, kremsos and the 31 December 2026 deadline.
Five things to include when you ask a chatbot about vegan nutrition, an example question and a seven-point checklist for testing the answer before you act on it, with the five studies behind them and their limits.
Creatine, carnitine and taurine are sold together, shelved together and written about together. They deserve none of that. The last of three short pieces, showing that what separates them is not the biology but how much anyone looked.
In two cohorts of over-65s in China and the US, people classed as vegetarian had higher mortality. How vegetarian was defined, reverse causation, earlier studies of the same cohort, results elsewhere and practical points for older vegans.
Taurine is the one where the honest answer is uncomfortable: nobody has looked properly. The measurements that exist are real, small and forty years old. What is missing is not a negative result, but any result at all connecting taurine status in vegans to health.
The supplement pitch is simple: it is concentrated in meat, vegans get almost none, therefore vegans are short of it. Every step of that sentence is either uncertain or wrong. Two human studies point in opposite directions, absorption adapts, and supplementing carries a measurable cost.
In the US REGARDS cohort of 14,776 adults, a healthy plant-based diet was linked to 28% lower coronary artery disease risk, while the overall plant score gave mixed results. How it compares with the 29 September meta-analysis, and why diet scores need care.
