Belgium's Royal Academy of Medicine recommended last week that children, teens, pregnant women and nursing mothers do not follow a vegan diet
Belgium's Royal Academy of Medicine recommended last week that children, teens, pregnant women and nursing mothers do not follow a vegan diet.
An estimated 3% of Belgian children follow this type of vegetarianism that excludes meat, eggs, dairy products and all other animal-derived ingredients, according to the academy's statement. The eating plan is"restrictive," creates"unavoidable" nutritional shortcomings and, if not properly monitored, could lead to deficiencies and stunted development, the academy said.
A small group of vegetarians coined the term"vegan" in 1944, according to the Vegan Society. A recent study that explored the impact of different diets suggests that global adoption of a vegan diet would avoid 8.1 million deaths per year by 2050.
