OK, I leave this thread. I'm always sorry when I try to tell my opinion on this topic so I better stop.
I'm nutritionist too and I've studied medicine and neurology and I definitely know what I'm talking about.
Animal protein is toxic for the human body, there are plenty of studies which show this.
But there are no studies about the toxicity of vegetable carbs.
No educated doctor would ever recommend a low carb diet for the patient but many (especially in the US) recommend a plant based diet to cure deseases like cancer, diabetes, neuropathy...
Yes, we evolved. But creating all the deseases. And we'll never surely know how it would be when we had evolved on a plant based carb diet.
But on Medicine congresses a plant based carb diet is discussed as the source of longevity and health.

Veganism is not for everyone. It's something extreme you must find out if it's good for you. But if it almost killed you you surely did something wrong and I'm sorry for you that this happened.
This is my last post here. It's a too long and for me too important topic to discuss in a NBE forum.
