Vegan 10 years. I was born with one kidney. Everything is great with me.

Guys like that are job security for you, Mic. Not enough hours in the day to view all the misinformation.

In Canada, they suggest a B12 supplement for everyone over the age of 50.

No meat for over 30 years.

O yeah, my body has been giving out so much that i broke all my personal records in calisthenics and using dumbbells.

18 years vegan, 24 no eggs or dairy. When does the falling apart start? I look great, feel great, but having to hear the same stupid anti-plant BS is getting exhausting.

The rap is killing me, Mic! Lol. Good job on the research and making this guy look so foolish! 👏

Vegan for 18 years. No sign of my body giving out 🤷‍♂️

❌ Decades of comprehensive meta data ✅ 20 year old shirtless tiktokkers

My guy has been vegan 27 years and just had his B12 tested at the top of healthy range. Just takes a few supplements a week.

These people are so desperate to justify their behaviour that they literally try to claim that vegans can’t exist. A guilty conscience needs no accuser.

Plants harm the gut microbiome? That’s a claim I’ve never yet heard before 😂

why do meat eaters always have to come for veggie eaters, what a crazy world we live in. we judge each other for the wildest things now.. and me personally have never been more attacked by others than when i went vegan.. everyone had their 2 cents to add and the amount of rude comments like "what about bacon" i heard from even close fam.. its just sad

9 years vegan, i have no plans ever going back.. I was taught wrong by my teachers an parents and im healing.

I have chronic health conditions and have been vegan for a year - feeling better than I have in years!

I’ve been plant based for just over a year, and will not go back to an omnivore diet. My digestive system will not let me go back to eating animal products again (I’ve been lactose intolerant for over 30 years).

Homey thought his abs trumps scientific facts . That about sums it up .

Gotta love all these kids getting on KZfaq and spouting nonsense. Dude looks like he just turned 18 yesterday. TF does an 18 year old kid know about anything? They don't even know who they are.

Love your response videos. Yes, they're fun! 💚🐾🌱💚🐾🌱💚🐾🌱💚🐾🌱

Most failures are due to eating something should not be eating. Rather than not eating something that should be eating.

Been vegan from 17 to 27 just a few months shy of a decade body hasnt gave out on me 😂

Vegan 25 years....never any b12 supplement. My levels through the roof. My secret: Simple foraging in nature once in a a while.

8 Year Vegan Here. Love what you do mic. Its good to see the little guy find a camera short enough to fit in and talk mess about Vegans. It works and It will continue to work.

I can forgive people who are just uneducated and/or brainwashed, but this guy seems to be intentionally lying.

im 46 people think im 30 on average, ive two grown kids. healthier than everyone even tho i enjoy vegan junk

They all sound the same. Saladino-itis? Chaffee-itis? Does it even matter? What is it with people not double-checking anything before talking about it? It's an epidemic of arrogant stupidity! Thanks for addressing yet another stack of baseless claims by yet another non-expert social media personality.

Vegan for 32 years and thriving!

Always shirtless . Does that make them seem more crediable in their minds ? Would they feel more reassured if theur ICU drs where shirtless as well?

What's that?! The digestive system filters out the waste material from food that's eaten??

Being a non vegan "influencer" on KZfaq is definitely at the bottom of the food chain that they love talking about.

Man, Mike, even your ridiculous puns and other comedy intermissions keep getting better with each video. :D That "rapper" and "DJ" had me cracking up like a toasted pumpkin seed, yo ;D 💥🌰🥜I´ll definitely buy their LPs Thanks for debunking all those influencers while keeping it light. They´re the bad kind of (involuntary) clowns on social media, while you are an educator with perfectly placed and dosed clown elements in the best sense of the word. I´ve been vegan/WFPB about 8 years now, since age 20, not least thanks to your channel, and both objectively and subjectively healthier at 28 than I was at 20. Really appreciate content like yours, Plant Chompers, and the others who make videos like this without being mean-spirited and with a great sense of humour. I dare say that making the audience laugh is the best way to get through to them. Some content creators abuse that tool to influence in a manipulative way, but you just use the laughter to lighten and spice up the hard science, as it should be used. Keep up the great work and hope all is going well for you and your family! Greetings from Germany and Spain 💪♥

He's a young Asian boy. He has that going for him. He won't look that great at 70.

Few honest people are very concerned with the validity of their claims, while many fools all over the internet just say the wildest lies without any consequence. This is outrageous. I'm really thankful people like you exist! P.S.: The raps were hilarious! xD

I'm a dairy farmer. Due to the strain the work has put on my body, I had severe osteoarthritis in my upper body joints. Or so I had thought. Committing to a plant based diet completely, almost all of the pain from my arthritis has faded. I can move like I never had it in the first place. Haven't eaten meat since I was a kid because I can't work with the cows and eat them later. I drink a glass of milk every few days. I am aware it sounds strange to be a dairy farmer and vouch for a plant based diet, but I have economic pressures which make me continue animal husbandry at least for a few years. Yet, I would not recommend anyone to eat large quantities of meat or dairy products. They should be considered much more like alcohol or smoking; a delight with many detriments. A luxury good with a very high cost of production, economically and morally. In the long run, I hope more people make the experiences which I have made to see how potent of a health tool plant foods truly are.

Thank you for your consistent humanity and composure in the face of constant and unrelenting, continuously degrading, and completely non-critical analysis and thought. People want so desperately to be famous, popular, authoritarian, to belong and to be seen as worthy, and the requirements of hyper capitalism are just a disaster for authenticity, humility, wisdom, open-mindedness, etc. I feel so much sympathy and empathy for the youth of today.

You and Happy Healthy Vegan are the two Vegan channels that I've been subscribed to for years. The two best in my opinion. Your channel is heavy on the science. Happy Healthy Vegan gives the vibe that he is chill and cool, but if you watch his channel he is always eating up non-vegans who enter his chat. Even has a thing called the crap wall for their claims.🤣🤣🤣

For my baby I mix "pumpkin seed butter" in their fruit puree or vegetables. 5g/day is enough. Blood test done, no deficiency.

According to Cronometer, I get more nutrition plant based then when I ate as an omnivore. Always pretty much meeting or am over all of the recommended levels.

Vegan for 6 years. Raw vegan for 9 months. No problems so far. I did consult a dietitian to make sure I was getting everything I needed

7 years vegan 🌱 Also making the best food of my life now and it only is getting better!

My comment of a few minutes ago isn't taking edits: I recall now that Brian Turner and Hench Herbivore are on Tik-tok and do refute such contentions, with a better chance of reaching the same audience. Good for them. Though as I said thank you for this good video which refutes well the absurd contentions in the Tik-tok video.

i use chlorella for bioavailable b12. i used to be anaemic as a vegetarian but stopping the bombardment of unnatural diet (humans are like apes, not dogs) i was able to absorb better. taking olive oil and cooking onions and garlic manages oxalates

Iodine: Where I live, there’s no iodine in any kind of food, that’s why most kinds of salt are fortified. Of course, you can also eat certain algae 😊

Sounds like another reason I'm happy I don't use tiktok!

Primal is a rage baiter. I've watched some of his content and he'll add a dose of misogyny in every now and again to get engagement up in the comments.

9 years vegan. Doing great :)

I'm not a vegan but even I know that the vegan isn't BS.

That guy is a TikTok clown looking for clout

Pumpkin seed raaaaaapper omg ! 😍🤣😻♥

Be vegan! 🌱

There is endless denial and even more human ignorance. Fruits and vegetables with a few other nuts, seeds, beans, and legumes are more than enough to sustain top line health.

Great Video!

Nice response Mic fair play to you.🌱🌅☘️

Your ability to deconstruct these unfounded claims against vegan diets with such clarity and scientific precision is truly inspiring. As a keen follower of your work and someone fascinated by nutritional science, I'm constantly impressed by your knowledge and the way you make it so accessible. ✌🏼 The "nutrient deficiency" arguments often spouted by veganism's detractors crumble under the weight of proper scientific evidence. It's particularly ironic that many non-vegans, especially athletes who meticulously optimise their performance through targeted supplementation with creatine, B12-fortified multivitamins, and plant-based protein powders, perpetuate the myth of deficiencies in vegan diets. This inconsistency exposes a clear knowledge gap and highlights the importance of your work in promoting evidence-based dietary choices. Beyond the issue of nutrient acquisition, the fear-mongering around "toxins" and "chemicals" in plants deserves a more nuanced approach. Bioconcentration, the process where fat-soluble toxins accumulate in animal tissues as they move up the food chain, suggests that animal products may pose a greater risk of harbouring these harmful compounds. Conversely, the well-established inverse association between fruit and vegetable consumption and mortality rates underscores the protective health benefits of these plant-based foods. Furthermore, the demonization of "anti-nutrients" like lectins and oxalates often overlooks their potential for stimulating specific physiological adaptations. While research is ongoing to fully elucidate their mechanisms, these compounds, present in negligible amounts in most plant foods, might play a role in enhancing gut mucosal integrity and immune function. Similar to how the body adapts to the regular consumption of high-fibre foods by increasing digestive enzyme production, the presence of these low-dose "anti-nutrients" could trigger a controlled response that ultimately strengthens the body's natural defences. The latest research on the gut microbiome paints a particularly compelling picture for vegans. Studies consistently demonstrate a shift towards a healthier gut microbiota composition in individuals adhering to plant-based diets. This translates to a higher abundance of beneficial bacteria with well-defined metabolic pathways that contribute to overall health and well-being. Mic, your unwavering commitment to science-based communication is inspiring. Keep up the fantastic work! You're empowering viewers to make informed dietary decisions based on rigorous research, not fear-mongering or anecdotal evidence. We, along with countless others interested in a deeper understanding of veganism, truly appreciate your mission. Given the growing body of research on the environmental impact of food production systems, do you foresee a future where the integration of nutritional science with life cycle assessments (LCAs) becomes standard practice in dietary recommendations? This could be particularly valuable for guiding individuals towards sustainable and health-promoting dietary choices. Wishing you continued success, Mic!

My Vitamin levels are much better today than anytime in life when I consumed flesh... Powerful people are having there $$$$$ threatened and will stop at nothing to consume animals...

'Plants have toxins' - what do these guys think animals eat? 😭

Ive encountered someone giving me a tone after i said me and my daughter dont eat or drink dairy. And she said how does she get calcium!? I said you think theres no calcium in other foods?

I cracked up so hard when you said “he’s on a beach” 😂 “does he not know what seaweed is”

Vegan for 20 years. Had recent bloods and I’m in perfect health.

Vegan for over a decade - oh god! 😅

Vegan for 7 years in September. I'll be 47 this year. I don't take any medications. It's kind of funny because everybody in my family is a diabetic except for me. But apparently I'm the unhealthy vegan.

Love the beats lol

Just a recommendation. A black bean ferment video - maybe just the milk (you can still use shermanii even tho no lactose in the beans)

😂 Your little skits are always entertaining, didn’t know you had so many skillz 🎤 Great response video! Because of people like this guy, others go around the socials finding vegan pages to recite it nearly word for word, thus spreading the misinfo further and further and further … oi vey! Thankfully Mic is out here putting in the work to get the real word out there…. in raps 😎

I've been completely vegan for 5 years. I'm bigger and stronger and lifting more weight at the gym. I had my bloodwork done, and my doctor said I had one slightly elevated kidney marker. But she said she wasn't concerned because it was just because I consume so much protein in my diet. HA! So much for that myth.

primal physique? lol, primal must mean prepubescent girl in his language

50 year old Practicing Vegan now for over 5 years, from Diabetic to healthy losing over 70 pounds, lifting weights and running sprints, in the best fitness of my life.

No meat for 29 years. Feeling amazing in the gym, in the ring and in life. The shirtless guy has a smooth brain-needs to pick up a book and get off TikTok

The guy is just malicious.

Vegan over 35 years now. Doing great. Wisest choice I've ever made. And quick shout-out and condolences to Dr John McDougall family. His and mary's book "the McDougall plan" gave me the info I needed -- the book is filled with studies (not opinions) proving their nutritional points-- to eat in the compassionate way I was seeking. Greatest gift I've ever received. Thanks for all you do mic :-)

Does not cite research? He cites six pack. It trumps all research.

11 years vegan, still waiting for the plants to kill me. 😆

Have you heard of the channel Goatis, he likes to say that vegans miss out on over 15 micronutrients but I've never heard him say which ones

Someone should do an Exercise Doesn't Work video and talk about all the people who quit working out after a couple of months.

gosh I love ya Mic

Let us know when DJ seaweed’s next album drops 🙏

I have been vegetarian/vegan even raw for ~ 20 years. And got very very sick. Now I landed on carnivore and finally I am healing/thriving. (before I had to supplement everything in high doses. Could not get my bloodwork look better. Every day 25mg Zinc. 20g Vit C (yes! You read right. On top of fruits, vegetables I had to supplement so much Vit C in order to have healthy gums) - basically I had to supplement from A-Z in „high doses“). Forget the RDA - for almost everyone I know they do not have enough vitamins when they follow rda recommandations). It is easy to check this - bloodwork will show. And do not fall for suboptimal levels! Imho: there is no „one size fits all“. If one thrives as a vegan: great! If not/if you need a bag of supplements- measure, look what other options are out there. Do not buy into trends. Look what is best for YOU!

People just tunin' to see those sick abs!

I was diagnosed with having slight Hypothyroidism after I had been taking anti depressants( that I believe was the cause), my GP wanted to put me on a some pharmaceutical drug for this, but knowing as I do. That Iodine is great for supporting Thyroid function I told my GP that I would increase my dietary Iodine instead and after a little research I found out that Poppyseeds are v rich in Iodine( I prefer using seeds, Fruits etc than Seaweeds). So I started grinding them up and putting a teaspoon in my porridge every morning, then went back to my GP for a blood test and what do you know my Hypothyroidism had gone!. Btw my GP said the blood tests( on NHS) didn’t test for Iodine which is crazy cos she would of known from my original blood test what my blood Iodine was like, but then she wouldn’t have an excuse to prescribe more pharmaceuticals!. 🌻🌎✊🏽

Thanks for the facts Mic!💚

Yeah, my doctor told me to lay off the b12 a few months ago because it was high lol I’ve been vegan for over ten years.

ngl you were straight spitting with that iodine rap

😂😂 That guy looks like someone you shouldn't take diet advice from. Too young. He's at the beach all the time, not the library.

I’m so glad you exist and are willing to debunk this really unaware human…. Yeesh, every time you flash to him talking, I want to press my palm to my forehead…..

Iodine? Don't tell him about kelp! 1:09

Then why does he look better?

In Sweden table salt is supplemented with iodine. For everyone.

Bruh there already is a Lil Pump 😂

His forehead is going to look like a disaster in middle age.

Mic always trying to sell his seed to me, but I am lesbian... It's crazy to me that people think you will die earlier from eating vegetables than from the sad animals being slaughtered in dire conditions. Sigh...

My b12 was 439 pg/mL on my most recent blood test. Square in the middle of the healthy range. 9 years vegan. Meat eaters never know any of their health numbers yet the point fingers at vegans calling them unhealthy

Im surprised the tiktokker didn't mention collagen. Your body can make collogen, but it can be more difficult for vegans to get enough, how difficult depends on genetics

Just a little comment to another great video - there is actually something to the idea of homesis when it comes to phytochemicals, so in a way his excercise analogy isn't that far off, or at least isn't as absurd as it might sound.

I used to be a vegan. Now im a carnivore. Never going back!

Vegan for 4.5 years. When are all these deficiencies going to kick in?

Thanks for creating this response vid. My annoying carnivore friend keeps flexing that video on me.

Dude… I watched this for the raps. Those were amazing…

7:32 part on toxins concentrated in animal fat (and animal foods).

So when's the album coming out?

People just listen to him because he's lean and lives on the beach. He's so easy to debunk.
