Can Kids Be Vegan? Listen to the Science

The Exam Room By The Physicians Committee

Is it safe for children to eat a vegan diet? Yes! Science shows no meat, no dairy, no problem!

On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Dr. Yami Cazorla-Lancaster joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about the research that changed her from being a "milk pusher" to an advocate for plant-based diets. Dr. Yami also talks about:

- What health issues can happen to children who drink an abundance of milk and eat a lot of cheese.

- How those problems can follow children into adulthood and intensify as they grow older.

- The science showing milk does not protect bones from fractures.

- The healthiest way for children to build strong bones.

- The milk alternatives that parents should consider giving children.

- Plant foods that are high in calcium.

Dr. Jim Loomis also joins the show to open the Doctor's Mailbag and answer your questions!

- How can you get enough calcium without eating dairy?

- Does calcium from plants interfere with iron absorption?

- Is it possible for cholesterol to become too low on a plant-based diet?

- And many more!
