Seriously? She names a study on 555 Kenyan school kids and draws really farfetched conclusions.
Here's a study on 8000 UKers that shows the opposite, controlling for lots of factors:

She only shows the small study and self-derives a conclusion, while ignoring the big study... Hmmm.
Also see "the adventist studies" which were the first or a long string of studies showing the general health benefits of a plant based diet over an omni diet.

Bonus, the China Studies:
The word you were looking for wasn't balanced, but "pro-vegan". The article you linked is indeed different; where TFA cited many academic papers, your preferred article seems to have traded most of that sort for unbacked pseudo-scientific assertions such as (paraphrasing) that there's often no such thing as a nutrient deficiency, because your body will simply adapt to make better use of the stuff it's lacking in, like iron.
