Now, I didn't actually read the article, but my understanding is that neither vegan nor normal diets are either healthy or unhealthy. Rather, vegans have to pay attention to their diet, and tend to eat healthier, while people who eat meat are just eating what they have their whole life. All the studies I have seen, from reputable organizations, say that a vegan diet can be perfectly healthy and fine, they don't say it is inherently more healthy. That's one hell of an assumption.So the disagreement is not that the vegan diet isn't beneficial in its many fronts, the disagreement is on the extent of such benefits.
I'm sure there's plenty of room for discussion on this after we've all become vegan
