And I know of two people (bitcoin evangelists, lol) who had explosive diarrhea or an impacted bowel on a meat only diet, and had to be hospitalized.

Whereas my athletic performance on a vegan diet has never been better as well.

What to make of this? The body can adapt quite nicely to many foodstuffs as long as you do proper research on what foods to eat so you get all the nutrients you need. Not eating fruit and vegetables just seems folly to me.

>The body can adapt quite nicely to many foodstuffs

In a perfect world yes, but we live in a world where (at least in the West) pretty much everyone is addicted to sugar. A healthy body could switch between burning fat and burning glucose but I have yet to meet anyone who can do this without having been eating keto for a while. It's harder but possible as a vegan and I would recommend it to anyone. Just once and the body is better at switching back and forth.
