I can't understand why circumcision is the norm in the US! There is no routine circumcision in the UK. No doctor, nurse, paediatrition or health visitor has ever mentioned it to me since my son was...

My understanding is that lactose is always milk derived (I think it's a form of sugar), but that lactic acid can be obtained from dairy or plant sources. If the product isn't marked as vegan, then...

I'm not an expert, but I would agree that the quantities you are eating look small, so maybe you could increase the calories, protein, and possibly fats (e.g. adding seeds, more nuts, and maybe some...

Thanks Christa, that's extremely helpful. The Arkansas study on infant milk sounds interesting as it includes breast milk as well as soy and cows milk.

I think that some people are happy to believe that all vegan diets are dangerous, because it helps them feel justified in sticking to an animal based diet. As we know, cases like these are extreme...
