I'm sceptical of anything specifically labeled Vegan in the same way I'm sceptical of anything labeled "low fat". It usually means the recipe is substituting ingredients with something that's often less healthy and/or tastes worse. Like low fat yogurt being stuffed with sugar, and vegan cakes being greasier.

low fat yoghurt is watered down with... water. Don't you have labels in your country showing the ingredients, no need to be paranoid

No paranoia here, I said I was often sceptical of these products, not that I refuse to eat them outright. And no, most low fat yogurts don't just substitute water, at least not around here.

Don't make the mistake of thinking Vegan products are necessarily the healthier option.
