PHYTOCHEMICALS and ANTIOXIDANTS, 
only found in plant foods, are substances which “prevent and treat many health conditions, including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.”[3]
VITAMIN B-12, the only nutrient not known to be in most plant foods, is made by bacteria found naturally
in soil, ingested by animals who graze. Nutrition experts recommend consuming B-12 through a supplement or fortified foods.[4] Banana peels, not typically included
​in the Western diet, contain vitamin B-12.[5]

As an advocate of diets rich in a vast array of plant micronutrients per calorie, he has directed millions
​of people to eat an anti-cancer diet.

There are an estimated

20,000 species (a) 
and 300,000 (b)

Please note the differences 
between vegetarian and vegan. 

 'Vegan' is an independent term, and not
a type ​of vegetarian. 'Vegan' means no use or commodification  of animals or sentient beings, whenever possible. 

'Vegetarian' is a type of omnivore, and based upon diet. There are various kinds of vegetarian diets; all include consumption of animal products, and requires the slaughter of animals when their usefulness declines.

​Vegan nutrition provides adequate,
and sometimes superior, health benefits
vs. ​obtaining nutrients from animal  products. Plant-based foods are appropriate for all stages of life, from infancy ​through advanced age. [6]
