Note that we want only enough information to convincingly support the assertion and counter inaccurate information. When making a point, it is important to find those sources that will result in the most convincing arguments, and to summarize findings in the most convincing manner, all without misrepresenting or exaggerating those sources.
Places to start for research:
Is there research showing that vegans are generally not deficient in choline, or that non-vegans are?
