While Vegan food products can be healthier than non-vegan foods, many of these foods are still processed.
The more plant-based whole foods and the less animal-derived and processed foods you eat, the healthier your diet will be.
“The balance of scientific evidence suggests that the healthiest way to eat is a vitamin B12-fortified diet of whole plant foods. For optimum nutrition, we should be sure to include in our daily diet not only an array of whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, fruit, and as many vegetables as we can eat, but also specifically dark green leafy vegetables, berries, and white (or green) tea.” – Michael Greger, M.D. FALCM, from Optimum Nutrition Recommendations
