The American Foundation of Vegan Diet Research is a not-for-profit scientific researcher and educator. We discuss the pros and cons of establishing and maintaining a vegan diet. For example, a vegan diet may be able to: Improve heart health, defend against cancer, and reduce the likelihood of type 2 diabetes according to research. But eliminating all animal products could leave you deficient in calcium, zinc, iron, magnesium, vitamin B12, omega-3, etc. A study was performed in overweight adults, and a low-fat vegan diet led to weight loss, improved body composition, and increased insulin sensitivity.
