I moved away from low ‘a’ due to my job during covid. I was working long hours in the hospital as well as mandatory overtime so without eggs and dairy I would have gone without eating quite often. I started getting my old symptoms resurfacing and required more and more thyroid as time passed and then had a health decline late last summer-early fall. I gradually went back towards low ‘a’ eating early this year and pretty strictly in March. My plan was to get my labs done on April 25 but I lost my job so I haven’t done them yet. I’m feeling much better though. I know it’s not popular or peaty but it’s working for me.

Because a “low a” diet as a teenager is just as extreme as a “vegan” or “carnivore” diet. It’s almost like he’s trying to prove something by experimenting with his daughter. Weird stuffuh, why does she have thinner hair than me and has a face like a 32 year old woman? not trying to be mean
I'd imagine that if Vitamin A were to be important, it's most important in children & adolescents, since they are in their growth years.Because a “low a” diet as a teenager is just as extreme as a “vegan” or “carnivore” diet.

You see now I know for a fact he is a fool who is controlled by his own set in stone beliefs. Vitamin A toxicity is a legitimate issue but he is arrogant enough to damage his child by depriving a nutrient that has been proven to be necessary. You should never be so sure of yourself about things like this that you would put children at risk. I question my methods and understanding every day and remind myself that even though i have learned a lot, I know very little. This is the right way to think in my opinion and it allows us to be more effective learners and not ignore evidence which can break down our own beliefs.Because a “low a” diet as a teenager is just as extreme as a “vegan” or “carnivore” diet.

This feels very sad to me. Her face does look old and hair very thin for her age.Apparently, Garrett Smith is raising his day daughter on low VA.

They make those poor girls who dance and cheer in competitions wear sooo much make up. My niece cheers and I was shocked. Also putting your kids online like that seems unwise with all the pedos out there. My SIL posts my niece doing gymnastics in a bathing suit on Facebook.This feels very sad to me.

Yikes ? Horrible. I agree about posting photos online these days…They make those poor girls who dance and cheer in competitions wear sooo much make up. My niece cheers and I was shocked.
