To vegetarianism, I personally treat absolutely indifferent. Adults have the full right to solve themselves than to eat and what ideology to bring under their behavior. In my medical practice with Vegans, I did not come across at all, due to the fact that in order to get into my military unit, any Vegan in just a week for a cute soul cracked stew and left his ideas until better times.
But two of my colleagues - a children's dentist of Ivanov and a doctor of the gastroenterological department of the Petrov Children's Hospital at the Mention of Vegans begin to fully worry. And that's why.
The main reason for the dislike of physicians to Veganas is primarily the illiteracy of Vegans themselves. Well, you refused from meat, fish, eggs, milk, well, so think about it to compensate for the lack of amino acids, essential fatty acids, and especially vitamin B12. By the way, signs of B12 deficient anemia are the main problem of a vegan diet. This vitamin is not contained in vegetable food at all. And its disadvantage causes severe disease of the hematopoietic system.
Illiterate vegans believe that having ceased to use meat and limiting cabbage, carrots, potatoes, they purify karma and carry health banner. And forget about nuts, legumes and other meat substitutes. The perpecrable vegan diet is much more expensive than the usual nutrition. And not everyone can afford it. So it was not necessary to start.
Now to the history of colleagues. Last year, Gastroenterologist Petrov participated in the Commission, depriving parental rights one parent. My mother does not turn this lady to name this lady. The woman has two children. The boy is 15 years old and the girl is 6 years old. Actually because of the girl and the scandal broke out. When commissioned by the Commission for admission to school, the pediatrician drew attention to the state of the child's health. On the face - underdevelopment of teeth, anemia, low-demand weight. The baby is sluggish, uncommunicative. Suspended oncology, sent to the examination. And as a result of the investigation, it turned out that the mother of the child was the Yaraya Vegan, famous for the forums of the Soviek and the head of the pair of tens of women. And the child from birth does not use the writing animal origin. When doctors transferred information to the relevant authorities, a whole wave of hatred in social networks struck them. Elder child also has health problems. A whole bouquet in the form of all kinds of gastrointestinal diseases, signs of the same anemia. Why no one had paid attention to this family - I do not know. But at the moment, the mother is trying to regain their parental rights, so there will be no names and names of cities.
And this behavior of Parents-Veganov, unfortunately, is not uncommon. The same gastroenterologist Petrov led me statistics, according to which only last year in his department with diseases of the gastrointestinal diseases lay 48 children and adolescents from vegan families. And these are only identified.
And questions with the deprivation of parental rights are also not raised for the first time. The same Petrov managed to participate already in three such commissions as a consultant. In two cases, under the threat of deprivation of parental rights, mothers thought. But the last time before the deprivation did it come.
The dentist of Ivanov works in the Children's Center. Bright furniture, on the walls - Aibolit-Cheburashka. In the corner - a TV with cartoons to distract small patients. And children from vegan families recognize at first glance. Fans of candy and coca-cola with numerous caries are also not uncommon. But Vegan's children are a special breed. Pale, sluggish. Cut on TV and silent. And all very bad teeth, with a weak enamel, often with a delay in development. Because at six months, instead of a full-fledged dust of the milk, the baby began to stuffed with vegetable juices, puree from fruit, but dairy products are evil. Let, they say, the cow's calf milk drink.
And slightly humorous history from the surgeon. The surgical department comes the lady slightly over forty. The diagnosis is blurry - "acute stomach", which translated from the ambulance means means - "And hell knows." The lady holds for the volume of the womb, lies, moaning.
Surgery with heavy sighs tells. They say, suffers overweight, has problems with the gastrointestinal tract. A week ago, I read the relevant forums and realized that her salvation in the veganism. As a hand, he will remove the disease, and the figure will immediately become like a ballerina. The lady thrown into the garbage of dumplings with chops and sat on the Vegan diet. It lasted exactly a week. One evening felt just insane hunger. A jerk opened the refrigerator - and there, except the cabbage there is nothing. And from the hunger of the village to sharpen cabbage. Sgzl Kochana three. The overloaded intestines protested and stood up. Simple language - Varuchochki.
The surgeon nodded - the lady immediately on the table. Two basins of semi-stewed cabbage leaves were plundered out of it. One thing is good when I wrote out after some time, it turned out that the lady from the experienced shocks lost weight almost five kilograms, which was a real victory for her. Dr. Even on Cognac cleared.
Dear vegans. I sincerely respect your choice and I have nothing against your lifestyle. But when you become parents - think about what you are responsible not only for yourself, but also for your child. And if you are not sure of his proper nutrition, there is nothing to look for advice on specialized forums. Nothing good will advise you there. I know the vegetarian parents who feed their child, including the products of animal origin, explaining this position "will grow, he will decide." Here for this - I voted with both hands.
