I was just providing the link for informational purposes. There were plenty of questions raised. That is why I commented about BCAA's. The table shows the need to be careful to properly replace lacking substances with supplementation or other sources.

There have been similar studies about low fat or ultra low fat diets. They can be especially problematic in young children as their brains are trying to grow quickly. There are documented cases of young children suffering severe malnourishment and neurological disorders from vegan diets, especially low fat vegan diets. It is very difficult to replace the amino acids and fatty acids found in animal based diets with vegan sources. A low fat vegan diet is a serious challenge.

If these articles caused people to look carefully at their diets and supplements, the discussion has been worthwhile.
