i actually just switched to veganism myself, and i have never felt better, physically and mentally. which in itself i think outweigh any bad. howeverif you go vegan make sureyou go to a nutritionist or at least a good health food store and get good vitamins. i take a multi and a b12 daily. also,i would try to stay away from resteraunts for about the first month. but after that first month, i stopped even wanting dairy.

if you decide to go vegan try recipies from

www.vegweb.com

they have vegan everything and most of it is just as good as the real stuff, if not better!

hope i helped :]
