I didn't read the articles but important to keep in mind there are several versions of vegans. Strict vegans generally suffer from problems associated with lack of vitamin B12, calcium, vitamin D, zinc, and iron.

Speaking of science... there are plenty of doctors that believe heredity only plays a tiny role in heart disease.
So you should definitely include that perspective in your research:

"Studies have shown that a vegan (pure vegetarian) diet—rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables—can stop and even reverse heart disease."

 It's all about diet!  Cancer, diabetes, and environmental destruction are all entangled with the way we eat.
But then again, I try not to take myself too seriously... thanks for keeping it humorous "D-Y".

Yay bikes!
