Studies show that meat eating is associated with greater morbidity and premature death.

Protein Myth

The reality is that the average
American takes in twice the amount of protein he or she
needs. Excess protein has been linked with osteoporosis,
kidney disease, calcium stones in the urinary tract, and
some cancers.

The Building Blocks of Life

People build the proteins of their bodies from amino acids,
which, in turn, come from the proteins they eat. A varied
diet of beans, lentils, grains, and vegetables contains all of
the essential amino acids. It used to be believed that various
plant foods had to be eaten together to get their full protein
value, but many nutrition authorities, including the American
Dietetic Association, have determined that intentional
combining is not necessary.[Note] 1 As long as one's diet
includes a variety of grains, legumes, and vegetables, protein
needs are easily met.

The Trouble With Too Much Protein

The average American diet contains meat and dairy products.
As a result, it is too high in protein. This can lead to
a number of serious health problems:

Kidney Disease
When people eat too much protein, they take in more
nitrogen than they need. This places a strain on the kidneys
which must expel the extra nitrogen through urine. People
with kidney disease are encouraged to eat low-protein
diets.[Note] 2 Such a diet reduces the excess levels of nitrogen, and
can help prevent kidney disease, too.

Cancer
Although fat is the dietary substance most often singled
out for increasing one's risk for cancer, protein also plays a
role. Populations that eat meat regularly are at an increased
risk for colon cancer, and researchers believe that the fat,
protein, natural carcinogens, and the absence of fiber in
meat all play roles. In 1982, the National Research Council
noted a link between cancer and protein.

Osteoporosis and Kidney Stones
Diets that are rich in protein, especially animal
protein, [ are known to cause people to excrete more
calcium than normal through their urine and increase
the risk of osteoporosis. Countries with lower-protein diets
have lower rates of osteoporosis and hip fractures.

Increased calcium excretion increases risk for kidney
stones. Researchers in England found that by adding about
five ounces of fish (about 34 grams of protein) to a normal
diet the risk of forming urinary tract stones increased by as
much as 250 percent.

For a long time it was thought that athletes needed much
more protein than other people. The truth is that athletes
need only slightly more protein, which is easily obtained in
the larger servings athletes require for their higher caloric
intake. Vegetarian diets are great for athletes.

To consume a diet that contains enough, but not too
much, protein, simply replace animal products with grains,
vegetables, legumes (peas, beans, and lentils), and fruits. As
long as one is eating a variety of plant foods in sufficient
quantity to maintain one's weight, the body gets plenty of
protein.

Iron Myth
There is a myth that vegetarians dont get enough Iron this is JUST A MYTH! Vegetarians get an ample amount of Iron Found in Vegan foods. (The following chart shows that Vegan foods can have even a better source of iron than animal based foods).

i'm non-veg by way of fact my mum and dad have been non-veg. yet now when I examine a assertion of LORD BUDHHA , I actual have purely approximately stopped ingesting non-veg. LORD BUDHA mentioned--- U have taken tens of millions of rebirths in the international. lots of circumstances those lambs or pigs or hen have been ur father, mom uncles or babies. Why to eat flesh of ur mum and dad etc.? Swami Ramdev explains -- while u get offended , u initiate sweating, initiate trembling etc, while u are afraid , u initiate sweating , trembling etc. Why ? by way of fact there r secretions of harmones etc. interior physique. So u may well be responsive to how many undesirable secretions ensue while an animal is killed . ingesting this form of flesh is quite undesirable for psychological well-being. Now u see lots of swine/cow/hen -flu etc are spreading by way of animals. besides Nature has no longer made us to eat non-veg. by way of fact a non-veg ingesting animal has very long gut to digest it yet v have small one. V don't have teeths like tiger. All non-veg eater animals drink water by making use of tongue yet v drink like cow.
