    I'm from India, and my family is vegetarian since I can't even recall, and my grandfather, who is 73 and still kicking, didn't know where he was getting his choline from, what role fiber play or what is even a protein let alone its enormous importance, but upon my asking 'Why can't I eat chicken?', he said, 'Because they have life too, they don't just voluntarily throw themselves on the butcher's knife. They have passion for life as you I and have.' and his rural simplicity and intellectual poverty has a profundity that science could never probe into or send a mission to, because it was rooted in love, not stemming out from his egoistical desires to defend his diet or satiate his taste buds. To sum this all up pithily, icicles don't stab Ocean. If anything, they contribute to its momentum without disturbing its depth.

      What a beautiful comment! I'm Asian too and my family ate mostly brown rice, buckwheat, legumes and potatoes and my grandma is still alive and kicking at 94. She ate mostly rice and lentils since she was weaned.

      In fact, that's all I'm gonna say from now on when people ask me why I'm vegan. That's really the only reason that I stopped using animal products. The side effects are a bonus. I'm sick of explaining all the reasons. They are all valid, but meaningless compared to the pure and simple truth... They want to live.

      Plant based diets are usually fabricated by vegans.
      Vegan, and carnivores diets = Unhealthy, harmful.
      Proper vegetarian, and omnivores diets = healthy, not harmful.
      There were tons of studies that were disproven through the recent years.
      People disproven a common popular study because they took out processed foods when it came to the vegan diet.
      But the meat diet wasnt measured or fixed properly. ((There are different kinds of meats, and preparations, and they didnt take that into account. Not to mention not all meats are processed meats.))
      If you look at all the lies vegans will tell you theres scientists that disprove all "facts" of vegans.
      Organ meats are known to actually help your health than to actually harm it.
      Another issue with meat is when its cooked a certain way it can actually create a harmful substance to humans. It isnt the meat that's harmful... it's literally the way its cooked. That's like if vegans cooked their meal covered in protein oils. That's straight up unhealthy.
      That's why cooking it, choosing the meats, and studying it properly is important.

People like Vivekananda and Da Vinci who abjured meat or never even tasted it, had eidetic memory because they weren't listening to science or accumulating data to sharpen their intellect so that could prove other wrong, but listened to their bodies. They were interested in living. Most of us sadly are eavesdropping while living in a celestial mansion. Doing right thing is vanity, not doing wrong is humility. I hope your arguments are rooted in love, not stemming from knowledge.
      Thank you for standing up to your mom for animals.

    So I'm vegan and don't want to gamble with my health, I also study nutrition at uni so I am learning conventional mainstream nutritonal science.
    My curiosity is sure there is choline in plant foods (broccoli, quinoa, soy, mushrooms etc), but there is nowhere near enough to get close to even 400mg of choline a day which is still less than the recommended amount for a woman. 43mg from quinoa + 58mg from mushrooms + pinto beans 30mg + peanut butter 11mg + broccoli 31mg + 1 cup of soy milk 57mg + halfa cup of tofu 35mg = 265mg and that's taking into account if you're eating all of those foods every day, it's way under the recommended amount. I'm a guy (2 meters tall, 105kgs, highly athletic), my recommended daily intake is 550mg, though given my size and how under studied choline is I probably need a bit more than 550mg. With 265mg of choline each day (roughly half the daily intake for a guy) on the above foods, shouldn't everyone following a vegan diet also take a choline supplement?

    Just wanted to mention a mistake in the choline math (thanks Eduardo). The pinto bean number is actually for dry beans not cooked beans so it's a bit lower. Quinoa in the USDA database is not specified as cooked or not so it's unclear there. Either way, you can easily get enough choline from plants...assuming we even need that much.

    Very good, thanks. A necessary video like so many on this channel. I first read about choline in 1974, and then it seemed to be often mentioned together with inositol probably the same food sources or effects together. This came to my mind so just saying.

    Hey Mic, I think you missed a few points: Everyone is saying that Emma Derbyshire owns a choline ranch in Montana. Reliable sources say that they mistreat baby cholines. The "free-range choline" they've been marketing has been actually forced to live tightly confined in sheds.

    Just watched a Jeremy vine clip were everyone made fun of vegans. Saying we are more of a risk of having a stroke. The whole panel were disgusting. I'm sick of the corruption.
