Today we examine the claims of vegan critic, Denise Minger, self-proclaimed debunker of T. Collin Cambell's "The China Study". On a RawBrahs video ("Raw Vegan Diet Warning," linked below) Denise lists a host of major health problems she experienced while following a raw vegan diet several years ago including hair loss, tooth decay, muscle loss, and vitamin deficiencies. To this day Denise asserts in public talks that vegans and vegetarians can not maintain good health for more than a short amount of time as our health will eventually decline until we add meat back into our diets.
Rather than deficiencies inherent to a vegan diet, we propose that the true cause of her symptoms is starvation - an extreme form of malnutrition - which happens to have the very SAME symptoms she experienced. In a nutshell, Denise wasn't getting enough calories for proper health, which highlights a very important point: be sure you eat enough food on a raw vegan diet!
