Popis:	Using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009-2010 data for 32 participants 25-60 years of age, the aim of this study was to compare vitamin (B12, D) and mineral (calcium, iron, zinc) intakes of vegans (n=16) to intakes of omnivores (n=16), as well as to Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs), and vegetarian-specific recommendations. The vegan sample was defined using NHANES dietary data and randomly matched to a sample of omnivores. Results showed vegans had significantly lower mean intakes of B12 (p=.020), D (p=.012), and zinc (p=.032) compared to omnivores. Neither groups' mean intake of B12 was lower than the Recommend Dietary Allowance (RDA). Both groups had mean D intakes significantly (p
