The United States expenditures on healthcare – drugs, surgery, and chronic disease treatments are rising. The Standard American Diet (SAD) is based on meat and dairy. As a result, the United States spends more per capita on health care than any other industrialized nation. At this rate, the US will spend 20.1% of Gross National Product (GNP) on health care by 2025. And that is rising!
The meat and dairy based diet have been linked to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, as well as other illnesses. This is because it is high in fat and cholesterol, has no fiber, vitamins or minerals. This fat clogs arteries, making blood pressure rise, and ultimately causing heart disease.
Animal Fat in the diet clogs cells and does not allow glucose, the end product of digestion, to enter and nourish the cells. Instead this glucose remains in the blood stream eventually causing diabetes.
The hormones, antibiotics and other additives given to animals raised for food so they can withstand the horrific conditions they are imprisoned in, and become as profitable as possible, as fast as possible, translate into abnormal cell activity in humans: cancer.
The best way to avoid these health issues with their corresponding costs both physically and financially is to avoid the meat and dairy based diet which is causing the problem. Go Vegan for all the health and financial benefits!
Go Vegan!
