you're right. 2 winters ago, i had a blood test for nutrition. vitamin d was low. protein was good. i take a supplement with vitamin d, magnesium, and calcium, now.

vitamin d deficiency can cause permanent nerve damage. there are a lot of vegan websites about animals' rights, recipes, etc. but there aren't enough about the need for vitamin and mineral supplements. i read about vitamin d deficiency at veganhealth.org.

i don't know if there have been many long term studies of vegan nutrition. you mentioned fatty fish. 1 nutrient i think is important is omega 3. i haven't taken it. and i guess i'm low on it.
