In the early 1960's, medical researchers discovered that a diet high in
animal flesh and saturated fats was what had been eaten by people with a
spectrum of disease from kidney damage, cancer, atherosclerosis, strokes to
osteoporosis.

Meat was high in a substance called uric acids which stressed the kidneys
so that edema conditions started in middle age. Vegetarian proteins would
sail through human kidneys with ease while meat protein did not. Animal
flesh puts uric acid 'puff' on our faces over the years as a kind of edema
built up. The proof is that elderly meat-eaters all look alike, having
faces like round meat pies at age 60. You can see no resemblance to the
person they were at 20, whereas vegetarians keep the facial contours of a
20 year old until
 they are 90. Think of actors Cloris Leachman and Dennis
Weaver or that relative youngster, Lindsay Wagner all of whom have no
facial change.

Animal flesh is high in saturated fats, cholesterol, hence it created heart
disease and strokes, the #2 and #3 killers in the USA.

What is less known to conventional science is that the human body tends to
view animal protein as a 'foreign protein invader,' hence the meateater's
immune system is always deployed, on a state of Red Alert by all the burger
coursing through the veins. Meat eaters never have really good immune
systems and are vulnerable to viral and bacterial attack.
