The current introduction to the article reads: "A well-planned, balanced vegan diet is suitable to meet all recommendations for nutrients in every stage of human life.[1] Vegan diets tend to be higher in dietary fiber, magnesium, folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin E, and phytochemicals; and lower in calories, saturated fat, iron, cholesterol, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, calcium, zinc, and vitamin B12.[2]
Researchers agree that those on a vegan diet should take a vitamin B12 dietary supplement.[1][3]"
The source [1] does not make the claim that a *vegan* diet is suitable to meet all nutrient recommendations. Instead, it claims that a *vegetarian diet* can be so sufficient, and that vegan diets are one type of vegetarian diet. Whether among the sufficient vegetarian diets there is at least one vegan diet is not specified. Moreover, the final claim about B12 supplementation contradicts the claimed sufficiency.
I propose that either another biomedic-quality source should be found for the opening claim or it should be removed as per WP:V, WP:MEDRS and WP:BIOMED — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:580:67D0:6492:CF22:82B4:7E2C ( talk) 19:38, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
