Why Veganism is good for the planet, our health and the animals

We eat meat as a good part of our lives, dairy,meat and so on we eat because we ‘need to’ but actually do we? You might think you ‘need’ the new iphone but its only a want and do you need meat or dairy? No you don’t, Heres why

MEAT– Meat has cholesterol and saturated fat. Now you probably heart cholesterol is good for you. No it isnt. 2 types of cholesterol- HDL, LDL.     Hdl or high density lipoprotein is the ‘good’ cholesterol. This helps with inflammation etc. So now you think oh meat is good for us. Well our body produces our own cholesterol which is more than enough. LDL cholesterol or low density lipoprotein is a cholesterol which is bad. Why is it bad?

LDL cholesterol clogs your arteries and raises your serum cholesterol levels which can lead to  atherosclerosis ( clogging of the arteries). LDL cholesterol can also directly feed cancer and cancer feeds of cholesterol saturated fat and dietary methionine.

OPTIMAL LDL TO NOT GET ARTHEROSCLEROSIS (” The normal low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol range is 50 to 70 mg/dl for native hunter-gatherers, healthy human neonates, free-living primates, and other wild mammals (all of whom do not develop atherosclerosis). ”

So your wondering what about saturated what and methionine?

Saturated fat also clogs your arteries and has merely no health benefit for us. Also feeds some cancers. Dietary methionine ” There is direct evidence that methionine restriction leads to selective death of cancer cells versus normal cells ” This is because methionine directly feeds cancer cells.

So your wondering well ok so do you have any evidence? Dr Kim Williams  the first VEGAN President of the American College of Cardiology. Why is this? we have multiple studies and meta analyses that show that cholesterol and saturated fat can cause atherosclerosis and is almost the only BIG factor for atherosclerosis. Research has shown people with atherosclerosis that turn vegan can reverse the build up and can stop the atherosclerosis

How much cholesterol is too much? Anymore than 75mg per desilitre is enough to start atherosclerosis to develop. How to not get cholesterol? VEGAN DIET. Also it is linear relationship between cholesterol and atherosclerosis the more LDL cholesterol the faster atherosclerosis develops

HOW TO AVOID THIS? VEGAN DIET NO CHOLESTEROL and very low saturated fat anything below 21g daily is good.

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS

BUT IM A OMNIVORE

no your not carnivores and omnivores don’t get artherosclerosis and you do

We have teeth and intestines of a herbivore

BUT WE HAVE CANINE TEETH

to eat nuts and carrots and other hard foods

WE ARE DESIGNED TO EAT MEAT

no were not no evidence for this

WE HAVE ENZYMES TO DIGEST MEAT

no we don’t we have a specific enzyme to digest protein

BUT BACON

what about it?

I NEED MILK FOR CALCIUM

soy milk, plants

ANIMALS ARE NOT INTELLIGENT

pigs are more intelligent then dogs then why dont you eat dogs?

PLANTS HAVE FEELINGS TOO

MORAL JUSTIFICATION– There is no need to kill animals We dont need them for ‘food’ or protein that causes heart disease. No moral justification to kill them and enslave them for no reason just to kill them and get heart disease. You might say well i need protein no you don’t need cow protein plant proteins have a complete amino acid profile of leucine etc.

Look at vegan gains does he look like he doesn’t get enough protein?

YOU DONT NEED YOUR BACON TO FEED YOURSELF

GOOD FOR THE PLANET

deforestation is a major problem. 91% of deforestation is for animal agriculture when we could use a space of a quarter of africa to feed our whole population with plants. But we have more area then that for plants to feed animals also the slaughter houses etc which is  HUGE area just for animal agriculture. Since the Industrial Revolution, human sources of carbon dioxide emissions have been growing. Human activities such as the burning of oil, coal and gas, as well as deforestation are the primary cause of the increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere.

See deforestations and 91% of deforestation is because of the animal agriculture. We don’t need animals to survive or thrive.
