I&#x27;m sorry, but the one absolute metric we do have in terms of nutritional quality (athletic performance) shows that intelligent inclusion of animal products provides better results than a vegan diet.  In terms of longevity, basically all the &quot;blue zone&quot; diets do include animal products in moderation.  You might be able to push your cholesterol numbers down slightly with a vegan diet, but note that some cholesterol is necessary for optimal health, so there is no reason to play &quot;how low can you go&quot;.<p>Furthermore, you can&#x27;t make blanket claims like &quot;eggs are damaging to your health&quot;, because there are tons scenarios where that is untrue.  Are eggs a bad dietary choice for someone who already consumes a high saturated fat, low fiber diet?  Probably.  On the other hand, eggs are an integral part of my diet and I would be much less healthy without them.<p>You should at least be honest about your motivations as a vegan.  I don&#x27;t care if you want to take a stand against subjugation of animals, that&#x27;s fine, but don&#x27;t try and sell the diet to people who don&#x27;t share your feelings in that regard with health scare tactics.  That&#x27;s just plain lame.
