I don't recall anyone ever saying, "ALL people should do this or that activity". It's one thing to give an opinion that you think a certain diet is the most protective against degenerative diseases and to then back it up with large long-term studies, but where did the word "ALL" come from? Did someone on this thread say "ALL" people?

Before anyone criticizes someone for saying something, there should at least be someone who actually said it. If you can come up with the actual statement, we can then try to judge how it was intended.

My statement in the previous post was, "for MOST people veganism will accomplish this". The word "MOST" is different from saying "ALL". And, furthermore, it's nothing more than a suggestion. That's what the Medical And Health Disscussion Board is for. We discuss and make suggestions. As far as I know, no special qualifications are needed for discussion on this board.

Again I ask, "has anyone ever died attempting to become a vegan"?
