I'm not letting
anyone do anything, and I'm not keeping them from doing anything, am I
going them to force them to stop eating meat,,,, hell no , that's up to
them, but all they need to do is change their meat consumption from beef
and pork to chicken , fish, and goat. all of which is "good" for ANYONE


'There is a relationship between animal protein and heart disease.
For example, plasma apolioprotein B is positively associated with
animal-protein intake and inversely associated (lowered) with
vegetable-protein intake (e.g., legumes and greens). Apolioprotein B
levels correlate strongly with coronary heart disease.1 Unknown to
many is that animal proteins have a significant effect on raising
cholesterol levels as well, while plant protein lowers it.2

Scientific studies provide evidence that many animal protein's effect
on blood cholesterol may be significant. This is one of the reasons
those switching to a low fat-diet do no experience the cholesterol
lowering they expect unless they also remove the low-fat animal
products as well. Surprising to most people is that yes, even low-fat
dairy and skinless white-meat chicken raise cholesterol. I see this
regularly in my practice. Many individuals do not see the dramatic
drop in cholesterol levels unless they go all the way by cutting all
animal proteins from their diet.

Red met is not the only problem. The consumption of chicken and
fish is also linked to colon cancer. A large recent study examined the
eating habits of 32,000 adults for six years and then watched the
incidence of cancer for these subjects over the next six years. Those
who avoided red meat but at white meat regularly had a more than
300 percent increase in colon cancer incidence.3 The same study
showed that eating beans, peas, or lentils, at least twice a week was
associated with a 50 percent lower risk than never eating these foods.

Chicken has about the same amount of cholesterol as beef, and the
production of those potent cancer-causing compounds called
heterocyclic amines (HCAs) are even more concentrated in grilled
chicken than in beef.4 Another recent study from New Zealand
that investigated heterocyclic amines in meat, fish, and chicken
found the greatest contributor of HCAs to cancer risk was chicken.5
Likewise, studies indicated that chicken is almost as dangerous as
red meat for the heart. Regarding cholesterol, there is no advantage
to eating lean white instead of lean red meat.6
