Although I am a person who eats more meat than I should (I perfectly know about its possible negative effects on health), I have a more or less balanced diet and I understand those who opt for something more vegetarian. However, when it comes to a vegan diet, everything I have researched does not manage to convince me that it is a viable alternative. Humans are omnivores by nature and even some of our teeth are specifically designed to grind fibrous food like meat. I have even heard and read about people who feed their children with vegan diets that bring them severe future consequences.melissah30 wrote: ↑03 Jan 2019, 06:21I don't completely agree with this sentiment (I'm not sure that a vegan diet would "cure" cancer, but it definitely reduces the odds of getting it in the first place), I was actually really amazed that the author did not mention anything about the carcinogens in meats and animal products or even mentioning a vegan diet.
In the end, there are so many factors that contribute to the development of these diseases that sometimes it is almost impossible to avoid them all. There are people who never smoke a cigarette in their lives and end up having lung cancer by inhaling the smoke of other people's cigarettes. You also have to consider the genetic background in the family and the fact that leading a stressful lifestyle can also contribute negatively to one's health.
