and it was a
VEGAN Peanut Butter cookie. Very good! I am going to start making these myself.
It made me want to check out more vegan recipes.
Hope you can share a few of your favorites.
I have looked into this type of eating and am concerned with the negative aspects of it. Feel free to comment.
Negative:
Despite the benefits that are received from a vegetarian diet, the human body is also affected by some negative aspects. For example, the human organism requires an estimated daily dose of creatine of about 2 grams. Non-vegetarians typically get about 1 gram of creatine a day from various meats they ingest; vegetarians have a reduced creatine pool, the lack of dietary creatine resulted from the avoidance of meat not being adequately compensated by the increase in endogenous creatine production. Studies had shown that an amount of 20-25 grams of creatine daily for 5 to 6 days in a row increases significantly the muscle creatine in most people, especially to those with low levels such as vegetarians.
Vegetarians are particularly subject to pernicious anemia, which is resulting from the deficiency of vitamin B12, unless they suppliment the lack of vitamin B12 through the consuming of milk and eggs. A lack of vitamin B12, that is found only in animal sources, can seriously interfere with the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. Other complications that can occure are iron deficiency, animal protein deficiency, and also vitamin D deficiency, which can interfere with the body's ability to absorb calcium.
