Can Kids Be Vegan? Listen to the Science - a podcast by Physicians Committee
from 2020-08-11T07:00
Is it safe for children to eat a vegan diet? Yes! Science shows no meat, no dairy, no problem!
On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Dr. Yami Cazorla-Lancaster joins “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll to talk about the research that changed her from being a “milk pusher” to an advocate for plant-based diets. Dr. Yami also talks about:
- What health issues can happen to children who drink an abundance of milk and eat a lot of cheese.
- How those problems can follow children into adulthood and intensify as they grow older.
- The science showing milk does not protect bones from fractures.
- The healthiest way for children to build strong bones.
- The milk alternatives that parents should consider giving children.
- Plant foods that are high in calcium.
Dr. Jim Loomis also joins the show to open the Doctor’s Mailbag and answer your questions!
- How can you get enough calcium without eating dairy?
- Does calcium from plants interfere with iron absorption?
- Is it possible for cholesterol to become too low on a plant-based diet?
- And many more!
