FWIW, the research comes from an Israeli university so this post breaks BDS standards. At the very least people can make an informed choice before clicking the link.
The article's title and tagline are biased compared to the results. "can grow at the same rate" implies the same rate is an upper bound, while "grow at the same rate" is what the research found.
It implies a carnist diet is the healthy stable variant, when many carnists don't feed their chilldren all necessary minerals and vitamins either.
But actually by this research there is no more reason to believe veganism correlates with less growth than that it correlates with faster growth.
I had to look that up, but thanks for teaching me something today!
