The most common deficiency in a vegetarian diet are those of iron, calcium and vitamins D and B12, but while iron deficiency affects all vegetarians, that calcium mainly concerns those who follow a vegan diet, which, as we have seen, provides exclusion from the diet including foods derived from animals such as milk and eggs.
However, as the fiber and other substances found in abundance in vegetables limit the intestinal absorption of calcium is also essential for those who follow a vegetarian diet far less sure that the daily intake of calcium is insufficient, while vegans will need to use supplements foods that contain this mineral. Always the exclusion of milk and dairy exhibits vegans at risk of vitamin D.

The same is true for vitamin B12, which is present only in foods of animal origin, lacto-ovo vegetarians, who consume milk and eggs freely, so they are protected from the risk of deficiencies, and vegans will also in this case necessarily resort to supplements.
We thus see how the risk of nutritional deficiencies in a vegetarian diet is more for vegans and lacto-vegetarians for lacto-ovo-vegetarians. More are at risk even though the fruitarian may incur even in protein deficiency.
As for raw foodists, the main problem for them is represented by the lower digestibility of raw food, which makes it harder for even the absorption of nutrients, as well as deficiencies of hygiene: cooking is not just to make foods more edible, but even the elimination of bacteria that may be harmful to health.
It is therefore clear as to become a vegetarian is not enough to eliminate from their diet of meat and fish, but rather rearrange their style food in order to ensure all the necessary nutrients to maintain good health
