Plant-Based Advocates Admit Nutrition Science Cannot Prove Vegan Diet Healthiest Option

What was said

"It's very hard, impossible to make the argument based on human health alone. When you look at the nutrition science itself, there are a variety of different dietary patterns that lead to great health outcomes. Mediterranean diet, the Mind diet, the DASH diet, vegetarian, vegan, all done in a healthful way with the focus on unprocessed, minimally processed foods, can all be very healthy."

Simon Hill publicly acknowledges that nutrition science does not support claims that plant-exclusive diets are definitively healthier than other dietary patterns. He states the strongest arguments for veganism are ethical and environmental, not health-based, contradicting years of messaging from the plant-based movement that positioned vegan diets as nutritionally superior.
