Milkjar,

You have a deep misunderstanding about health.

The body of science tells us that eating meat, dairy and eggs increases risk of heart disease, numerous cancers, obesity (and all that goes with it), and diabetes. Cholesterol is a huge contributor (only found in animal products). So are animal proteins that inhibit the uptake of certain nutrients and minerals along with growth factors such as IGF-1.

Calcium from cow's milk is prevented from getting into bones because of the proteins found in the milk. T. Colin Campbell's book which was written about his study about epigenetics and diet in China found that the highest consumption of dairy products correlated with the highest rates of osteoporosis. Shock. The dairy industry won't tell you about this because it's counter to what they're selling.

This is just one example. If you want to educate yourself, go to Nutrition Facts. It is maintained by Dr Michael Greger, a plant-based doctor, who only arrives at his conclusions first based on EVIDENCE. He doesn't look for evidence that supports his belief system. He has a team of 19 researchers and hundreds of volunteers that scour the English language literature to uncover what the research says about the healthiest diets.

While you may just be ignorant at this point, after spending a few hours taking in more of the currently available scientific information, you'll be better equipped to make better choices for your health, the wellbeing of the animals that are needlessly killed as well as the health of the planet.

Take care,
Nick.
