I have conflicting opinions about the vegan thing, since I have changed a lot as a person in those 5 years I follow those diets. I guess the only reason I keep being on this diet is because I argued a lot with relatives about my diet (they weren't fond) and I don't want to backpedal now, it's an ego thing.

That's interesting, thank you. Regardless of the diet you follow I think the most important thing is getting enough nutrients I'd say.

fair enough, the literature does seem overwhelmingly positive even outside of these studies

I still think it's pretty much a scam and you will hardly notice a difference though
