Myth #16: “But eating meat is healthy.”
Actually, the evidence is now overwhelming (and growing stronger with the released results of each new unbiased study) that the human body is intensely damaged by eating animals &/or consuming animal secretions. Studies linking meat & dairy consumption to significantly higher rates of heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis & obesity abound and must be earnestly considered by anyone sincerely interested in their own health or the health of those they love … On the flip side, the evidence is now strong (and also growing stronger) that the human body is made far healthier by eating a plant-based diet – with vegans being far less likely to incur the severe health problems mentioned above, being far more resistant to everyday diseases & infections, having far more energy & a decidedly more positive attitude towards life, and living noticeably longer lives.
Current status of this Myth: Contravened
Justification it provides for eating animals: NONE
“Getting your nutrients from meat
is like running your water through a sewer before you drink it.”
