Pros and Cons of Vegan Diets

A registered dietitian (RD) wrote the first article pointing out to better health quality for those individuals who are a total vegetarian. From conducted research studies, it is evident that vegans have a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and this is a health advantage especially in this era of globalization. The author describes the significant nutrients found in vegan foods and the importance as to why people must consider changing their eating habits. Moreover, Craig talks about pregnant women, the elderly, and children and why it is important to cook eggs properly because their immune systems are compromised, making them vulnerable to undercooked eggs. The article is credible because it also looks at the downside to eating vegan food and asserts that food selection by vegetarians still leaves them with a nutritionally adequate diet. However, some vegans make an unwise decision of leaving out certain nutrients; this may induce deficiency symptoms and adverse health outcomes.

2. The studies conducted by Dyett et al. (2013) and Newson et al. (2013) are peer-reviewed and summarize the major investigations made concerning health beliefs. Therefore, they are major diet and lifestyle behavioral motives among vegans living in the U.S. Dyett et al. (2013) also determined to investigate on the congruence between selected health and nutritional outcomes. From the research, it is evident that many people concerned themselves with making healthy diet choices and thus, led to having few people diagnosed with chronic diseases. The analysis made a show that regular exercise is also ascribed to vegan's lifestyle: it is true that the article is reputable. The evidence and information collected shows evidence by applying previously received data plus the experiments. Newson et al. (2013) focused on three factors as a way of determining whether one's life characterizes quality-eating habits. In the end, the authors have managed to cite their key findings, limitations experienced when conducting the study and problems that arose when collecting the questionnaires plus recommendations for future researchers. The article is reputable because it has all the characteristics of a scholarly article and the basic outline guides a reader through the research in a systematic way.

3. The debate on "Is Veganism Good for Everyone" was attended experts from various fields including vegan authors who discussed plant-based eating. The vegan authors were advocating for ethical, biological, and health motives behind adopting a diet that is plant-based. Four food experts joined the authors to discuss the merits and critique of veganism. Through this, outside contributions were made where many agreed that going veganism is a healthy option with nutritional benefits. However, there are those who disagreed and said that humans thrived as herbivores and in both this cases, they cite the vital nutrients provided by plants. Therefore, when it comes to deciding to go vegan, it is a commitment fought by physical, economic, and social challenges. This source is credible considering that it was a debate aired by New York Times and gave room for other people listening to contribute and give their remarks on the subject. Besides, by using experts in the field of nutrition, the article becomes credible because it managed to cover on different viewpoints. Thus, the article has managed to deliver multidimensional approaches to the topic on veganism and the benefits associated with plant-based lifestyles of eating.
