Thank you, and don't forget zinc.

Also have to be careful that your protein sources (mainly legume-derived?) don't have too much copper, nickel, heavy metals.

I have no beef (sorry not sorry) with vegans or vegetarians, but indeed, be careful with your nutrition.

Forgot that vegans also tend to get tons of carotene, which even though the body downregulates conversion to retinol, isn't great (but omnivores and vegetarians also often overdo dairy so there's that).

If I just look around me, i see my omni friends and fam all struggling with overweight and some have expressed problems with constipation and high-BP.

Myself OTOH, lean, low-BP (without any bad symptoms), dont even know what constipation should feel like.
