Studies-Meat Eaters & Vegetarians/was: Colon Hydrotherapy vs Colon Cleansing

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Yes, if you're going to eat meat, grass fed is the best idea.

Even better would be high speed beef or venison. I had a hard time

accepting that meat is bad for us myself, being a meat eater for 50

years.

Has your husband read the Oxford vegetarian study? It was based on over

11,000 voluenteers who participated for a period of 15 years, the effects of a

vegetarian diet on heart disease cancer etc.

The results were as follows - meat eaters are twice as likely to die

from heart disease, 60% greater chance of dying from cancer, and a

30% greater chance of dying from other causes.

The American National Institute of Health, in a study of 50,000

vegatarians, found vegetarians live longer and also have a impressively lower

incidence of heart disease and cancer than meat eating Americans.

As far as getting enough of the essential proteins, it is well

known the eight amino acids making up the proteins needed can be

found in a simple meal of rice and beans. The supergrain Chia has 16

amino acids. Its also All of the Vitamin B12 in the world ultimately

comes from bacteria. Neither plants nor animals can synthesize it.

But plants can be contaminated with B12 when they come in contact

with soil bacteria that produce it. Animal foods are rich in B12

only because animals eat foods that are contaminated with it or

because bacteria living in an animal's intestines make it.

So in reality there is nothing in animal protein that the body

requires, you cant find in a diet rich in fruits and vegs, beans

etc. I could produce hundreds of other studies, but what is the

point? I would say if you do decide to eat meat etc, do it in

small moderation.

All the best in health
