The United States expenditures on healthcare – drugs,
surgery, and chronic disease treatments are rising. There is a connection between this and the
Standard American Diet (SAD) which is based on meat and dairy. 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!
