According to medical research and numerous studies into meat and dairy the facts are as follows:

• Vegetarians live on average 7 years longers than meat-eaters, and vegans live an average of 15 years longer.
• 95% of all food poisoning comes from meat and animal products
• There is a 50% less chance that vegans will develop heart disease.
• Vegans are nine times less likely to become obese.
• Fiber pushes waste out of the body. Meat contains no fiber and therefore collects against the walls of the digestive tract which can lead to colon cancer.
• Avoiding meat and dairy reduces the risk of cancer
• Vegans have the lowest rate of coronary diseases of any group.
• Vegan children’s IQs are higher than their classmates.
• People with a higher count of vegetables in their diet are less likely to suffer from constipation and hemeroids.
• Fruit and veg contain no saturated fat or cholesterol. Cholesterol levels for non-meat eaters are on average 14% lower than those who eat meat.
• Seafood contains carcinogens and heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, lead) that cannot be removed through cooking or freezing.
• Meat and dairy are laced with steroids and hormones that have been injected into the animals to combat disease.
• Vegetarians/vegans are less likely to suffer from weight-related disorders such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
