I know certain vitamins and minerals, like B-12 and iron, are hard to come by in a vegan diet. Any specific suggestions or recipes? Food combinations? Is milk okay?

There's a certain red alga called "Hijiki" that contains vitamin B-12 and is the best source of calcium. It contains much more calcium and Iron than any cow milk. Iron is also found in many vegetable sources, im not sure if it's found in broccoli I know that it's found in leaves like spinach but needs to be taken with a vitamin C source (e.g lemon juice) to be adequately absorbed. chadi 01:57:38 01/07/03 Tue

Does soy milk provide the full protein that comes in meat? And doesn't spinach also contain Vitamin C? (NT) Sacred Poontang 03:00:49 01/07/03 Tue

yeah it provides all the essential amino acids to humans, though you can also get them by proper cereal-legume combining. Both cereals and legumes lack one essential amino acid, but not the same one!! (NT) -- chadi, 03:34:40 01/07/03 Tue
Many soy products are deadly. -- Antichadi II, 04:22:47 01/07/03 Tue
