I had horrible teeth before WLS. I know have a great smile were I don't have to hide my mouth. I go for cleanings every four months. My teeth were so bad that I had to have my mouth numbed so they could clean them.

I make sure I take my vitamins daily and eat what I am supposed to.

Maybe you know some uber-healthy veg*ns, but science says there's at risk, especially when looking at bone density (and resulting posture, height, dental health, etc.)

From 2007: After adjusting for age alone, the vegans had a 37% higher fracture rate than meat-eaters. After adjusting for age, smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass, physical activity, marital status, births, and hormone replacement, the vegans still had a 30% higher fracture rate.

Veggies alone won't do it. Although it is possible to meet the calcium recommendations by eating greens alone, the average vegan probably will not meet recommendations without drinking a glass of fortified drink each day, eating calcium-set tofu, or taking a 250 - 300 mg supplement (in addition to eating an otherwise balanced diet).
