Guest guest Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Veggies provide life-long health benefits Amelia Scruggs Issue date: 5/12/06 Section: Campus While some might believe the vegetarian lifestyle is boring and almost impossible to commit to, others have found health advantages and have adopted the lifestyle religiously. According to " 101 Reasons Why I'm A Vegetarian, " by Pamela Rice, an animal-based diet is high in cholesterol, animal protein and saturated fat, which combine to raise the level of cholesterol in the blood and is the warning signal for heart disease and strokes. Meat-centered diets are linked to many kinds of cancer, such as colon, breast, cervix, prostate and lung cancers. <http://www.thelantern.com/media/storage/paper333/news/2006/05/12/Campus/Veggies\ ..Provide.LifeLong.Health.Benefits-1984829.shtml?norewrite200605121549 & sourcedoma\ in=www.thelantern.com> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
