#MythBuster Myth 1. PLANT-BASED DIETS DON’T PROVIDE ENOUGH PROTEIN. Fact: Whole plants contain all 9 essential amino acids that we need to survive and thrive. Beans for example, To meet needs, the recommendation is 2-3 servings of legumes (beans and soy foods) daily, as well as providing enough varied sources of plant-based protein throughout the day. What does this have to do with providing enough protein? Give the human body all the essential amino acids, and it will do the job of making all the protein we need. Myth 2. PLANT-BASED DIETS ARE MICRONUTRIENT DEFICIENT. Fact: Many people are concerned that plant-based diets can’t provide adequate amounts of micronutrients like vitamin B12, calcium, iron, and vitamin D. But when appropriately planned, plant-based diets provide adequate nutrition to support a child’s growth and development. Supplementation is required (vitamin B12 is non-negotiable for strict plant-based eaters), but this doesn’t take away from the fact that plant-based diets are rich in many nutrients that come with significant health benefits. Plus, all diets are supplemented in one way or another. Cow’s milk, for example, is supplemented with vitamin D. Myth3. PLANT-BASED KIDS ARE MALNOURISHED. Fact: Any child, regardless of what diet pattern they subscribe to, can be at risk for malnourishment without a well-planned diet. Studies show that a well-planned plant-based diet can support appropriate growth and has advantages like reduced risk for obesity or chronic disease and more. True malnutrition is typically only seen in under-developed countries where nutrition is limited, or in cases where parents have not provided their child with appropriate nutrition (e.g., making homemade baby formula or serving only fruits and vegetables). Quite the opposite, research actually suggests that plant-based diets provide advantages like a reduced risk for obesity, numerous chronic diseases, and overall mortality, as well as optimal gut microbiome composition. #plantbased #plantbasedkids #mom #blackmom #blackmother #plabtmother #greenthunb #boymom #girlmom #nomnom #vegan #veganmom #momhack #love #livingfoods
