Hey
Do you know any vegan doctors/personalities besides maybe Simon Hill that you think aren’t quacks?
Hi Helena,
I’m sure there are many. In terms of doctors/researchers that seem to promote plant-based diets (or who likely follow one themselves) that are active online/social media perhaps start with folks like Gil Carvahlo, Avi Bitterman, Anna Borek, etc. They are some who base what they are saying on a good understanding of the evidence.
There are likely many others that put out great information, but I personally don’t know if they are vegan or not.
Hope this helps as a start point.
