Germany’s strongest man has been vegan for years, and holds multiple world records. I have very little patience for stupid misinformation. It just makes your comment worthless.
You’re sure that it has nothing to do with the fact that he’s a professional bodybuilder/strongman and makes so much money from competitions that he can afford to spend all day eating food and working out? Which I directly accounted for?
Literally out of every dietary research into the impact on health, the vegan diet comes out on top. Like, the amount of misinformation you have to swallow and uncritically accept to come to the conclusion you’re drawing means that any conversation with you is pointless. There are close to a hundred million vegans on the planet. We know things. They have been researched. Science. Try it sometimes.
"Households should select predominantly plant-based diets rich in a variety of vegetables and fruits, pulses or legumes, and minimally processed starchy staple foods. The evidence that such diets will prevent or delay a significant proportion of non-communicable chronic diseases is consistent.”
" A well-planned vegetarian or vegan diet can provide the nutrients we need […] vegetarian dietary patterns may have a health benefit when compared to more traditional dietary patterns. Vegetarian or more plant-based diets are typically higher in fruit and vegetables, whole grains and dietary fibre while being lower in saturated fat, sweets and non-water beverages (such as sugar-sweetened beverages and alcohol).”
"It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes […] Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity. Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease.”
“It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases […] The results of an evidence-based review showed that a vegetarian diet is associated with a lower risk of death from ischemic heart disease. Vegetarians also appear to have lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension and type 2 diabetes than nonvegetarians. Furthermore, vegetarians tend to have a lower body mass index and lower overall cancer rates.”
"Anyone can follow a vegan diet – from children to teens to older adults. It’s even healthy for pregnant or nursing mothers. A well-planned vegan diet is high in fibre, vitamins and antioxidants. Plus, it’s low in saturated fat and cholesterol. This healthy combination helps protect against chronic diseases.
Vegans have lower rates of heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer than non-vegans. Vegans also have lower blood pressure levels than both meat-eaters and vegetarians and are less likely to be overweight.”

while it’s true that page says exactly what you quoted, it also says
Speak to your doctor, healthcare provider or dietitian about a vegan eating plan
which is pretty critical, considering basically every source you linked spends most of the time explaining the common nutrient deficiencies found in vegans and ways to mitigate them.
Wow big letters. This was the position of the AND in 2016:

A vegetarian diet is defined as one that does not include meat (including fowl) or seafood, or products containing those foods
There is nobody being dishonest here except you. No matter big your letters are. I provided sources you could have just looked at them, or do some minimal googling. But you people couldn’t care less about facts, I know. If only you could turns all those feefees into some empathy for animals.
Absolutely absurd to think that the positions on vegan diets have shifted to the point where you can come close to considering this ‘misrepresentation’. That is so extremely dishonest, what an open afront to science.
Let’s take a very recent study to hammer this home.
A blood work comparison between diets. Done in Germany, among 120 or so people, so it’s a small one… But just extremely recent, and interesting since it took in a few variables that are normally skipped… But not important for you, since you probably don’t understand any of it anyway… All the dietary organisations stance on vegan diets were based on much much larger studies with ten of thousands of participants.
Conclusion
This study revealed that even amongst homogeneously
healthy, highly educated and physically active young
Germans, omnivore, lacto-ovo-vegetarian and vegan
diets result in measurable differences in dietary intakes
and laboratory biomarkers of health. Plant-based diets, in particular the vegan diet, exhibited more favorable
patterns of lipid metabolism and glycemic control. Our
univariate and multivariate analyses showed that the
risk of vitamin B12 deficiency is a major vulnerability
in plant-based diets; however, this could be overcome
with the use of oral over-the-counter supplements.
The detailed examination of supplement use and
blood biomarkers provided a first estimation that
250µg/d oral vitamin B12 taken over the course of
2years, supports adequate vitamin B12 status in
healthy individuals adhering to plant-based diets. The
significant lower use of vitamin B12 supplements in
lacto-ovo-vegetarians suggests an excessive reliance
on dairy and eggs as source of this micronutrient.
Exactly echoing the stance on (not just ADA AND) from dietary organisations that a well planned vegan diet is healthy and even has health benefits.
So you’re completely and utterly out of touch with the reality, and have a completely distorted idea on how these organisations come to their conclusions or how any of this works really.
by quoting the same organization with two different names as though they are two different organizations, and using quotes that imply this is their current position even when it is not, you are misleading people. that’s dishonest.
It’s only an example out of a long list of examples. It would only be dishonest if they, or other dietary organisations, reached conclusions that don’t support what I’m saying. But that isn’t true. It’s just an example of what has been the consensus among dietary professionals for decades.
The only one being dishonest is you and you’re awfully quiet in providing examples or engaging with anything in any substantially relevant manner. Which is typical for fucking idiots like yourself.

among other things, a link to a page with 2500 words on it explaining how difficult it is to get all the nutrients you need during pregnancy.
The rapidly growing weaning infant has no iron stores and has to rely on dietary
iron. It is possible to meet these high requirements if the diet has a consistently high content
of meat and foods rich in ascorbic acid. In most developed countries today, infant cereal
products are the staple foods for that period of life. Commercial products are regularly
fortified with iron and ascorbic acid, and they are usually given together with fruit juices and
solid foods containing meat, fish, and vegetables
