Vegan for 6 months, Decided to get blood test done, Vitamins....

Cheers

Can't find anything. I'm just not going to eat them, I found out that they do use palm oil in some of their biscuits and cant find which ones.

An interesting thing I did find was

''Additives and agents such as emulsifiers (E471 is a common one), while a small component of the overall product, can also be derived from palm oil"

Hmm that is annoying. Although it is probably only a very very very tiny amount, that's still no good.

Emailed Arnotts about the BBQ shapes, Here is the reply

Dear Amanda,

Thank you for your email to Arnott's Biscuits.

We are pleased to advise that there are no animal derived ingredients in the BBQ shapes.

Kind Regards

I am waiting to hear back about the palm oil.

i just wana quickly say,
on the topic of blood donating etc, today i got the "...But, your a VEGAN" from my own mum ha.

i was asking her why she didnt take me when she went to donate blood shes quiet and then she says ,
"but..... you.......you have to weigh a certain amount.."
me 'yes over 50 kgs and im 54"
but "you have to have certain levels ...... your vegan"

gahhhhh. dont worry i was quick to mention all the vegans who donate and you guys with normal levels of b12 etc. she was shocked to hear i get like 50% b12 rdi just from all the soy milk ii drink .

anyway. im conidering getting a blood test done to avoid any being proven wrong-ness at the blood bank!

I just had to reply even though this post was written 3 years ago. MY IRON AND B12 LEVELS ARE GREAT AND EVERYTHING ELSE IT NORMAL!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I was so happy when I found out. Plus the only thing that is low is my cholesterol which is alright
