Casein, which makes up 87% of cow’s milk protein, promoted all stages of the cancer process.
Cancer growth can be turned on and off by changing the level of animal proteins consumed.
High animal protein intake, in excess of the amount needed for growth, promotes cancer after initiation. The average American consumes 15-16% of their diet in protein (70-100 grams) every day, while the recommended daily protein consumption is 10% (50-60 grams).
About 10 billion land animals are killed each year for food in the US, according to the USDA; this includes 35 million cattle, 100 million pigs, 300 million turkeys, and 9.5 billion chickens. That is more than 1 million animals killed every hour.
what makes a dog or cat different from cattle? Just that we’ve given them the label “domesticated pets” and decided to love them? Can you imagine eating a dog? Having its legs torn off, ribs ripped out, its breast sliced so that we can have it for dinner? One might say, “No, that dog is cute.” But what about this calf, Isn’t it cute?
They have a central nervous system, pain receptors, a heart and a brain. They can see, smell, hear and sense touch. When we poke them, they flinch. When we prick then, they bleed. When they are surprised or sense danger, their hearts race. Try looking into the eyes of a cow, a dog, a rabbit or a horse and see if you don’t sense peace, love and life within their being.
United Nations published a 2006 report concluding that “The livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global.”
nimal agriculture uses 70% of agricultural land worldwide.
Nearly 20% of the emissions that contribute to global warming come from livestock. That is more emissions of greenhouse gases than from all of the world’s cars, trucks, ships and planes! This does not even include emissions from the plants processing the animal products.
Accounts for most of the water consumed in this country, generating 75% of the world’s ammonia caused by acid-rain.
World’s largest source of water pollution.
What’s worst, meat consumption is expected to double in the next fifty years. It’s disturbing to consider what the future will hold. Imagine what that will do to our planet.
Plant-based foods with high protein content are: almonds, avocados, soy and grains.
Our taste buds can change, in around 21 days.
“Although we think we are, and we act as if we are, human beings are not natural carnivores. When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us, because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings, who are natural herbivores.“, William C. Roberts, M.D., editor of the American Journal of Cardiology.
