Calcium for vegans
Besides the protein issue, vegans are always asked about calcium - did you know you can gets lots of it from broccoli and other dark green vegetables? Anyway, I got sent a link to a lecture given by Paul Appleby, an International Vegetarian Union patron from the UK, who has co-authored several papers arising from studies of the long-term health of vegetarians, including the Oxford Vegetarian Study, the Health Food Shoppers Study, and the Oxford arm of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), which includes 20,000 vegetarians. The lecture is from last September and was given to London Vegans. You can listen to extracts and view slides here .
