> well-planned vegan diet

Love the weasel wording

Translation

It means B12 (Yeast has poor bioavailability) Zinc Iron D2 Pills (No such thing as D3 on plant based foods) and a ton of Carbohydrates from grains potatoes legumes rice fruits etc

and people still wonder why the majority of Vegans return back to meat.

Nonsense. The only supplement vegans require is B12, but most meat eaters are deficient too. Everything else is readily available from a sensible vegan diet. Complex carbs are perfectly healthy, despite the best efforts of meat industry propagandists to confuse the issue. Meanwhile the typical meat-heavy diet is deficient in a number of important nutrients, most notably fiber.

The American Dietetics Association's official position is that vegan diets are healthy for people at all stages of life but don't that that distract you from your favorite bro science blog.

B12 must be supplemented, the rest is wrong. Not sure what's your point regarding carbs. Source: I do plant-based and perform blood tests for all the things you mentioned and more.
