Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 As I understand it there are different kinds of stroke, one caused by clogged and narrowed arteries and the other caused by a weakness in the arterial wall (which I've heard is actually more common in people lacking the plaque deposits). But I don't know what to think about this neighbor's rantings... susan ______________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!

Guest guest Posted February 28, 2001 Report Share Posted February 28, 2001 Hi. Speaking of health reasons for not eating meat...Did anyone mention Mad Cow Disease? It is a fatal disease that can be contracted by eating contaminated aminal products. It is now spreading in the United States. I heard that white sugar is whitened using bone meal. Does anyone know if this is true or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes, too, people have irregular heart beats (arrhythmias) which can cause blood clots to form in the chambers of the heart, which then propel out to the brain or lungs and cause clots. But something tells me that this guy quite probably was exaggerating to defend. Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Just for the record, I'm grateful that my wife is a vegetarian. I must be the only male vegetarian on this list. --- Colin & Jennifer McCullough <colinjen wrote: > >Just out of curiosity, am I the only one here whose > husband is also > >vegetarian?

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Nope, I'm here, and my wife is a vegetarian too (although she tends to " cheat " with dairy more than I do, and isn't nearly as interested in learning more as I am.)
