The authors also explain the importance of maintaining the correct level of pantothenic acid (significantly higher than the 10 mg recommended) to enhance the immune system. Examples of common grocery item labels illustrate misleading and/or deficient nutritional values.

Tempeh is an excellent source of protein. Tofu is also a good protein substitute, but is high in fat content. The fewer animal products eaten, the less vitamin D we get, so vegetarians should also be careful regarding levels of vitamin D. His assertion is also met with opposition from the vegetarian community. This author merely signals a warning and does not intend to engender debate.
