The only nutrient Americans may be more deficient in than fiber is potassium. See 98% of American Diets Potassium-Deficient. For more on how S.A.D. the Standard American Diet is, see Nation’s Diet in Crisis.
Americans eating meat-free diets average higher intakes of nearly every nutrient. See my video Nutrient-Dense Approach to Weight Management.
Isn’t animal protein higher quality protein, though? See D Greger’s videos:
- Higher Quality May Mean Higher Risk
- Starving Cancer with Methionine Restriction
- Caloric Restriction vs. Animal Protein Restriction
For more on protein, see: Plant Protein Preferable and Prostate Cancer Survival: The A/V Ratio.
