Is it safe for children to eat a vegan diet? Yes! Science shows no meat, no dairy, no problem!   On this episode of The Exam Room™ podcast, Dr. Yami Cazorla-Lancaster joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to talk about the research that changed her from being a "milk pusher" to an advocate for plant-based diets.
