The Top Ten Dairy & Meat Industry Lies
"It is hard to believe that
a man is telling the truth
when you know that you would lie if you were
in his place."
- H. L. Mencken
The top ten most powerful
employees of the dairy
industry are compensated an average of $500,000
per year in salary and benefits. It is virtually
impossible to be paid so
much money and not follow
the "company" line...
By eating animal
products, one shows no compassion
to the human body. By eating dirty fuel
consisting
of cholesterol, saturated animal fat, and relatively
large
amounts of sulfur-based amino acids (methionine
and cysteine), one places
considerable stress upon
the body's skeletal, cardiovascular and immune
systems.
It is easer for the fairy and meat industry to
purchase
a doctor's integrity, than it is for a
loser-of-a-man to purchase the
favors of a streetwalker.
Ten lies promoted by those who would have
you
eat meat and cheese:
1) Meat eaters have lower rates of heart
disease
than do vegetarians.
THE REAL SCIENCE:
"Significant
atherosclerosis is rare in peoples
whose diet over the life span is
predominantly
vegetarian and low in calories, total lipids,
saturated
lipids and cholesterol."
Nutrition and Athersclerosis by Louis Katz.
1958
THE REAL SCIENCE:
2) Meat eaters have lower rates of all
of
humankind's major diseases than do vegetarians.
"Scientific
data suggest positive relationships
between a vegetarian diet and reduced
risk for
several chronic degenerative diseases and conditions,
including obesity, coronary artery disease,
hypertension, diabetes
mellitus, and some
types of cancer."
Journal of American Dietetic
Association, 11/97, 97(1)
THE REAL SCIENCE:
3) Vegetarians
have higher mortality rates than
meat eaters.
"Vegetarians often
have lower mortality rates
from several chronic degenerative diseases
than
do non vegetarians."
British Medical Journal, 1996; 313
THE REAL SCIENCE:
4) A vegetarian diet is not appropriate for a
pregnant woman or nursing mother.
"Vegan diets are appropriate for
all stages of the
life cycle, including during pregnancy and lactation."
Am J Clin Nutr. 1994;59(suppl):1176S-1181S.
THE REAL SCIENCE:
5) Children born to vegetarians are smaller
than children born to
meat eaters.
"Vegan diets can meet the nutrient and energy needs
of pregnant women. Birth weights of infants born
to well nourished
vegetarian women have been shown
to be similar to birth-weight norms and
to birth
weights of infants of non vegetarians."
Pediatrics.
1989;84
THE REAL SCIENCE:
6) Meat eaters obtain more vitamins
and nutrients
than vegetarians, because the animals they eat also
consume vegetables.
"Vegetarian diets offer disease protection
benefits
because higher concentration of antioxidants such
as vitamins
C and E, carotenoids, and phytochemicals."
Am J Clin Nutr. 1996;63(suppl)
THE REAL SCIENCE:
7) It is a proven fact that vegetarians have
higher
rates of heart disease than meat eaters.
"Mortality from
coronary artery disease is lower in
vegetarians than in non vegetarians."
British Medical Journal, 1994; 308
THE REAL SCIENCE:
8)
Meat eaters have lower rates of diabetes than
do vegetarians.
"Type 2 diabetes mellitus is less likely to be a
cause of death in
vegetarians than non vegetarians."
Am J Clin Nutr. 1988;48(suppl)
THE REAL SCIENCE:
9) Meat eaters have lower rates of breast
cancer than
do vegetarians.
"Breast cancer rates are lower in
populations that
consume plant based diets."
American Cancer
Society Cancer Facts and Figures, 1994
THE REAL SCIENCE:
10)
Meat eating men make for better lovers because
they have higher rates of
the male sex hormone.
THE REAL SCIENCE:
"The study measured
testosterone levels in 696
Oxford University men. Of the study
participants,
233 were vegan (ate no animal products) and 237
were
vegetarian (ate milk and dairy products).
The remaining 237 subjects were
men who ate meat
on most days of the week...vegans had higher
testosterone levels than vegetarians and meat
eaters."

Journal of Cancer, 83(1), July 2000
