All I’ve found so far was either from vegan sites or from people who hate vegans. Scientific texts would be best, but a good, neutral summary would help a lot, too.

Here are some studies done by universities and the like (it was combined by the vegetarian resource group, but that does not mean the studies were biased, that just means that the veg. group linked to these studies in their research section). http://www.thevegetariansite.com/diet_st…
There are quite a few studies done by the American Journal for Clinical Nutrition, and some are from the National Cancer Institute, and other health journals.
Probably the best study to examine, as it is detailed & comprehensive, is the China Study.http://www.thechinastudy.com/
The person who conducted the studies was raised very heavily on animal products and was active in trying to make animals produce more protein or something. After his study, his views totally changed.
Here is a look at a food pyramid for vegans: http://www.foodguidepyramid.co.uk/food-p…
The site forgets to mention that nonvegans are just as susceptible to B12 deficiency; anyone can have a B12 deficiency if:
1.) Something is competing for your B12 (like parasites);
2.) Something is destroying your B12 (like cyanide in cigarettes); or
3.) Something is preventing the proper absorption of B12 (like inadequate production of intrinsic factor).http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/vitam…http://www.pamrotella.com/health/b12.htm…
As vegans, we should either take a supplement, or buy RedStar Nutritional Yeast & make cheezy things with it (or sprinkle it into your food/sandwiches). I take the latter route because I love food. =P
The Milk Documentary site has links to research about the effects of milk on our diet. http://www.milkdocumentary.com/Site/Milk…
The documentary itself is a pretty informative piece of work. http://www.notmilk.com/
(List of articles and studies from other organizations concerning dairy.)
The most current peer reviewed research I’ve found is “The China Study” by T. Colin Campbell. You can also find academic books from 30 and 40 years ago that come to the same conclusions and are entirely based upon solid scientific research and are not reductionistic. Today, most research is reductionistic (looking at very narrrow scope of isolated vitamins for instance) commonly funded by the drug industry.
You can read reviews of the book at Amazon.com. You can also read parts of it for yourself through Google Books: http://books.google.com/books?id=FIRLLcL…
Look for videos of the author on the Internet.
The physicians Committe for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) headed by Neal Barnard also brings together solid scientific studies. http://www.pcrm.org/ Of course Dean Ornish has some work, and this is accepted by mainstream media.
We had people over for dinner and my wife made a dish with chicken in it one of the guests proceeded to pick out all the chicken and put it on his napkin . That infuriated my wife and the other guests , because the meal was chicken and he should not have taken other peoples share . When I asked why he did that he became arrogant and said ” Because it is good for you . It was not so good for him when I accidentyly tipped his bowl into his lap .
