They add that 70 persons can hardly be considered representative for the entire Danish vegan population.
Vegans and omnivores The Danish researchers behind the study selected 70 vegans and compared their diets with those of 1,257 omnivores –
people who eat pretty much anything they like – to see which of them fared best with regard to Nordic nutritional recommendations. The participants made note of what they ate and the quantities of it in a four-day period. Vegans generally had lower intakes of sugars. This result contradicted earlier studies indicating that sugar intake is equal among the two groups of participants. The Danish researchers wonder whether this is because vegans eat less processed foods which have a tendency to be high in sugars. Vegans also consume more fibre and less trans fatty acids and saturated fats.
The country has been pushing a move towards plant based protein. Last year, The Danish Council on Ethics, recommended the government implement a climate tax on red meat in an effort to lower red meat consumption and fight climate change. It's no secret that meat consumption is terrible for the environment - this year on Earth Day (April 22nd) Google changed their logo and recommended choosing plants over meat.

The gluten I find interesting. Only 1% of us have any issue with gluten and the rest of us suffer zero negatives due to gluten. So why are so many on the no gluten train?
