How many of u believe that Non-vegetarian is harmful to your health?

Answer 1

Yes i believe so for various reasons;first and foremost of these reasons being the negative vibrations which could be transmitted to the eater on account of the fear which the animal would have felt at the time of being killed.Then animals are always likely to carry more disease than plants

Answer 2

Some studies show that it is, most studies show that it isn't however. You have to look at the studies, who funded them, and how they got their results and then make your own deccision. However science has pretty firmly found that everything found in meat can be found in another natural souce or be made.

The optimal recommend diet is one low in saturated fat, sugar, salt & with plenty of fiber - exactly what you get on a vegetarian diet. If you look at the food pyramind your servings of grains, fruits, and vegetables are MUCH more important then your servings of meat and yet the average person only gets 1-2 servings of fruits and vegies a day.
If you ate all the reccomended servings of your fruits, veggies, grains, and dairy in a day you would be pretty full and wouldn't have much room for your meat anyways.

Studies have shown vegetarians have 24% reduced risk of getting heart disease (the number one killer), lower blood pressure & lower cholesterol levels. Vegetarians have a 50% reduced risk of dying of diabetes and have a 40% reduced level of cancer than the general population (this is thought to be because they have a higher intake of vitamins A, C, & E) and 80% of food poisoning is due to infected meat.
Some studies even show a higher IQ among vegetarians.

As to the comment about humans teeth being made to tear meat, that is a falicy with little/no science to back it up. Have you ever looked inside a dogs mouth, a cats mouth, and a horses mouth and compared them??
The majority of humans teeth are flat for grinding up plants (all your back teeth) and our front teeth are thin but also wide and dull at the end. Meat eaters front teeth (look in your cat or dog) are not dull, they are sharp and pointy in the front and not as wide/rectangular. If you look inside a horses mouth however you will see that their front teeth are much more simmilar to our front teeth, which are designed to help bite into foods such as apples and carrots, not rip apart meat. Humans only have 4 "meat" teeth in their whole mouth, these are your cannine teeth, and the originins of are in debate. They could have originated from eating meat, but could have simply been there for protection.

Answer 3

I am living proof of it. When I was consuming a non veggie diet, I was crippled with lupus, arthritis, and other ailments. SInce going veggie I have healed COMPLETELY. After much research, I learned about the toxic chemicals that are injected into meats and poultry to sanitize them from unsanitary conditions, I learned that I am allergic to many of the ingredients in the "broths" and "enhancers" that are in meat. If I dont eat meat, I can walk, skate, sled, garden, etc. If I ingest even the tiniest bit of meat, I am laid up in bed for days. I also learned how horribly animals are treated, and that was enough for me. Nothing bleeds, dies, screams or suffers when I eat my meals. Just nice lovely veggies and grains that readily reproduce for food. Works for me Also, non veg are more likely to consume chemically processed foods, dyes, preservatives, etc. Its a real eduction if you look into it. Changed my way of thinking about food entirely

Answer 4

no. as long as you eat meat in moderation(1-2 SIDE-DISHES a day) and exercise and eat fruits and vegetables you should be fine. although eating a vegetarian diet is usually healthier.

Answer 5

The research to support that statement is fairly overwhelming. Regardless, a Vegetarian diet IS more healthy whether non-vegetarian food is harmful or not.

Answer 6

I believe we were not made to eat "flesh". That are human bodies thrive on eating VEGAN. SAD (Standard American Diet) is poisoning us rather quickly.

Answer 7

Celtic, actually we were made to eat meat. Our teeth were designed to rip and tear meat, if they weren't, we would have flat-surfaced teeth for grinding up veggies.
