Animal Products' Relationship to the Top Diseases in the Country

Returning to the subject of meat as a source of protein, there are some other health benefits to eating meat sparingly. I discussed the way meat thickens your blood and increases heat in the body, which is not beneficial in hot climates/summer weather. Also how the human intestinal tract is much longer than the intestinal tract of carnivorous animals, whose intestines are very short, designed to get meat out of the intestinal tract quickly after digestion. There are other health reasons for eating meat sparingly.

For one, meat is a food that is high in saturated fat. It is hard to eat a low-fat diet while consuming animal-based foods like meat. Also, animals raised for commercial meat production are shot full of antibiotics and growth hormones to protect against the outbreak of disease in the slaughterhouses and to increase the growth of the animals for greater meat production. These antibiotics and hormones leave residues in the meat, which are then consumed by meat-eaters.
A heavy meat-based diet contributes to some of the top diseases in the country - heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
Heart disease occurs as the result of high saturated fatty foods that clog the arteries and cause the heart to work overtime. Those who have been diagnosed with heart disease or have already had bi-pass surgery are instructed by their doctors to eat a low-fat vegetarian diet in order to correct the condition and prevent the need for another bi-pass surgery.
Adult onset diabetes (Type 2) is a totally diet-related disease. In this case there is nothing wrong with the pancreas. The problem is called insulin resistance, caused by the cells inability to utilize the insulin to take sugar into the cells. Insulin resistance is caused by excess animal fat & protein, especially from meat and dairy products, which clog the base membrane of the cell and prevent the uptake of insulin. Eliminating animal products from the diet almost always reverses this disease.
Cancer is a disease created by excess toxicity in the body, which interferes with the cells' abilities to recognize their instructions of what type of cells to be and what functions to perform. The communication system that organizes and instructs the cells goes haywire, and the cells become "without law", a community unto themselves, which eventually takes over the body and kills its host. Meat contributes to cancer by clogging the cells, preventing the elimination of toxins from the cells. Also, in the China Study it was discovered that those who eat the highest level of animal protein have the highest chance of developing liver cancer. I mentioned in a previous article that animal protein leaves behind an ash residue after digestion and metabolism. This ash residue places a heavy burden on the liver and the kidneys in their efforts to eliminate it from the body, which is one reason for the development of liver cancer.
Another factor with meat consumption is that the growth hormones that animals raised for food are given cause the rapid growth of cells. Cancer is a disease of rapidly growing cells, and if meat consumption isn't the cause of these cells going haywire, the growth hormones in meat at least cause the cancer cells to grow more rapidly.

A less talked about disease, called Mad Cow Disease, is not non-existent in America. The owners of slaughterhouses wanted us to believe that cows infected with the disease were only found in Europe, not America. This is not true. Mad Cow Disease was created by the practice of feeding infected animal carcasses to the cows bred for consumption. Cows are not meat-eaters for one thing, and feeding them infected animal carcasses was just asking for problems. Mad Cow Disease was caused by proteins called Prions, which infected the brains of the cows, eating holes in their brain causing dementia and eventually causing them to fall over dead. Humans who consumed cows with Mad Cow Disease didn't know they had it for years, until early signs of dementia set in, and upon examination of the brain, holes were found just like in the cows. This disease is present in America, and hard to detect before it is a real concern. But the rise of Alzheimer's and dementia may very well be due to this disease.

If you are going to eat meat, even sparingly, it is best to hunt it and kill it yourself, or buy organic sources of meat. That way you will be sure to not get meat that is full of antibiotics and growth hormones, and should be free of the Mad Cow Prions.
The healthiest diet consists of a low-animal-protein diet, and this is the direction to take if you want to avoid the top diseases that Americans are facing right now.
