19 May 2023 --- A Netherlands-based study has found that women following a vegan diet do not have lower levels of vitamin B2 or carnitine – two essential nutrients for infant development. Compared to women following an omnivorous diet, no difference was found in human milk concentrates of the two nutrients which are mainly found in animal-based products. NutritionInsight speaks with Hannah Juncker, a co-author of the study, about the results which were presented earlier this week at the 55th Annual Meeting of the European Society for Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition in Vienna, Austria.
