Nutritional consultant Dr. Emma Derbyshire, a member of the Meat Advisory Panel, has been cited widely by the mainstream media this week for her claims
A report came out suggesting that vegetarians, and especially vegans, may be lacking in Choline and could be more susceptible to liver disease and poor brain health. The report said that choline was very low in plant and dairy foods.
I'm a vegan so I looked up the charts and did the maths and found out that I was getting 1000mg of Choline a day, where the requirement is 500mg. It turns out the report was nonsense.
