Hi All, With this recent media scare about avocados not being vegan I read a really interesting blog on the Conversation which uncovered different ethical positions about where one should draw the line - to eat avocados or not. What's your stance? Does this information prompted you to...

Wow, Lou, thanks for taking the time to reply! I've read How Not To Die and thought it as good. I think I'll put the book you mentioned by Dr Fuhrman on my reading list.

Hi Guys! I'm fairly new to the forum and hopefully a thread on this topic doesn't exist... :) I am just curious to know if any of you have seen a nutrition professional at any point on your vegan journey. If so, what was the reason for it? And if no, why not? If you had enough money or time...

Salt is just salt. Chemically speaking it's made of sodium and chloride if we are talking about table salt. Other salts available have different combinations, such as Epsom salt which is known to have magnesium and hence used by people who exercise heavily to restore the balance in the body. If...

It reminded me of "You woke?" video by BBC Comedy - there is always some truth in comedy. Vystopia, on the other hand, is something I hear for the first time :eek:

Hey, Nicole Marie! Read your post and my eyes got stuck on the line where you said "More bloating than anything". That's normal as your gut adjusts to the fibre you're getting. Something that might be of interest: fructose may cause bloating. So if you increased fruit intake it could be that...

Hm, you said you are quite sedentary? Are you feeling stressed? Sleeping enough? I know it might not seem like it's relevant but dietary changes even if healthy can be stress inducing to your body. That combined with other other stuff in life could explain this. I'd say continue observing how...

Hi Chamae, Thanks for sharing with us your story. The thing is we all have been where you are - lack of support from close family and friends, restricted availability/access to vegan food sound too familiar. What I have noticed from the way you wrote your message and the words you used to...
