I was vegan for 5 years before switching to a vegetarian diet. Even though I use the quarantine excuse for my change, the truth is that it was something that I was considering since 2019 after some videos of "vegan deterioration" had been recommended to me.
I watched too much of it and got a little paranoid. Especially with the boom of the "why I'm no longer vegan" videos.
I had a vegan teacher in his 40s and I started to observe that he had the vegan eyes that people were talking about in the videos. But other vegans that I know are completely fine.
I know vegan kids that have been vegan since birth or transitioned at an early age and adults that have been vegan for years that show no sign of malnutrition or deterioration. Maybe the diet from my country provides different nutrients than the american/european?
The truth is that I'm still a little concerned about the veganism effects on the long run. I know that being vegetarian doesn't cause any problems so I feel safer with this diet.
Is anyone in here vegan for over 30 years that can assure that it's safe?
I probably should stop watching sketchy videos on youtube...
