Okay, welcome everyone to a new episode of the Jeff Nippard podcast.

Today I'm going to be speaking with Kamal Patel.

Kamal is the director ofexamine.com.

And in this discussion, we cover really everything I think there is to cover on the vegan diet and the science behind it.

And I really wanted to get Kamal on the show because he is, in my opinion, one of the most well-read and

well-versed voices on this topic that I've heard and on nutrition in general, for that matter.

So Kamal has two master's degrees from John Hopkins University. He's published peer-reviewed

articles on vitamin D and calcium. And he's currently on hiatus from a PhD in

nutrition as he's busy doing research and writing for examine. I've already gotten some

criticism for not speaking with a more prominent vegan voice on this, but I think that the facts

about veganism, or really any topic, are what the facts are, regardless of who they're coming from.

Before the record, Kamal did grow up as a vegetarian, and he ate vegetarian as a child, and he still is mostly vegetarian, but he'll eat fish occasionally, and we do talk about that.

And also, for those of you who are interested, we do discuss the

vegan gains video where our views on eggs and their effect on cholesterol and cardiovascular disease

were criticized. And so we talk about eggs for a while, as well as a range of other topics.

So we cover pretty much everything from the digestive effects of the vegan diet.

We also cover the carnivore diet, the ethics of eating meat.

And the podcast will also be available on my YouTube channel if you'd like to watch over there

rather than just listen.

So I'll have that linked in the show notes as usual.

And I've also got Examin's Supp guide for vegan and vegetarians linked below,

if that interests you. So anyway, without further ado, I hope you all enjoy my conversation
