The Vegan View

This column features a question of the month about vegan living that you, a VegFamily community member, are invited to submit your reply for us to publish in the upcoming issue.

This month's question:

In the news: a study from Oxford University states that Vegan diets cause brain to shrink? Your opinions, and what do you think is a "proper" vegan diet? Do you take vitamin supplements?

Editor's Note: This reader is seemingly referring to this news report: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,422767,00.html. The study is in the American Academy of Neurology journal, Neurology: "Vitamin B12 status and rate of brain volume loss in community-dwelling elderly".

Last month's question:

I want to be vegan but finding a lot of difficulties due to my blood type O (yes, some people say it doesn't matter what blood type you are). I find I am very weak when I don't eat dairy products or eggs. I have been ovo-lacto vegetarian for ten years and would really love to become vegan.
