Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Bottom line is that an animal centered diet uses lots of petrochemicals to produce it. On average 8 to 10 pounds of grain and or bean protein input is fed to livestock to get 1 pound back on the plate of the human consumer. With steak it is about 21 pounds of input to get 1 pound back on the plate of the human consumer. Livestock, so called " Food Animals " are fed about 86% of the corn, oats and barley grown in the USA and about 90% of the non-exported soybeans. To produce all of that animal feed vast amounts of land, water, and petroleum based fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides are used. And where does that petroleum come from? I think we know the answer to that. A lot of it comes from not very nice people at all. Exxon-Mobil , formerly the core of the old Rockefeller Standard Oil empire, has significant Saudi ownership. LukOil, based in Saddam Hussein's Iraq is still there, it is the brand name which Getty stations are being rebranded as, so are lots of Mobil stations, which are still supplying Mobil Oil to those LukOil gas staton. LukOil is a Russian company. Shell has marketing agreements with the Saudis. Citgo is owned by Venezuela and you know how close Chavez, the tyrant who runs Venezuela, and is also a Holocaust denier is with people like Mel Gibson's buddy Danny Glover, and with the Amalek who runs so-called Iran, a name chosen in 1935 which means " Land of The Aryans " as Persia changed its name then to cozy up to Hitler. and the beat goes on. If you eat an animal centered diet you are contributing big money to the petrochemical industry that is needed to produce it. And the Islamist fundamentalist terrorist part of the petro chemical industry is no friend of Israel or America or the rest of the civilized world for that matter. Moreover those folks can use the money obtained from those petrodollars and euros and so on to buy weapons of mass destruction, one nuclear winter can ruin your whole planet, and can in fact eliminate all life on earth, human, animal and even vegetable. Every dollar you spend on animal products puts something into the hands of those who are working day and night to get nukes and other WMDs and who will use them once they get them. If you are male and a baby boomer the chances are pretty good that you will get prostate cancer...if you have a diet high in cholesterol. Prostate cancer needs cholesterol to survive. Removing animal origin cholesterol from your diet might just mean cutting your chances of getting prostate cancer way way down. Some more about soy is below. First soy is not for everyone, as some women may have some problems with soy and other high sources of estrogen related to breast cancer, but that only affects some women, for that matter the curry, cumin, circumin, in use not only in Indian foods but added to a host of products can block the chemo- therapy used to treat breast cancer, but can supposedly aid men who want to avoid prostate cancer, there is a lot to learn about food as to soy it may very well have a lot of benefits for most people but not all what is certain is that animal products are poison, animals are piggy banks for poisons, environmental pollutants bioaccumlate in animals, the further up the food chain one gets the worse it is for the consumer, not to mention the dead, abused, raped, murdered, kidnapped, victimized enslave animals no one has the right to eat animals or animal products all animals have the right to be free from ending up on someone's dinner plate or in someone's glass or mug or cup or whatever http://www.healthcastle.com/soy-prostatecancer.shtml Soy and Prostate Cancer Written by Gloria Tsang R.D. last updated: October 2005 Diet has long been thought to be associated with the development of prostate cancer that is common in Western countries and rare in Japan and Asia. In a study published in October 2004 by the Urological Sciences Research Foundation found that when Japanese men migrate to the United States and adopt a Western lifestyle, the protection begins to disappear within one generation. The researchers suggested that the western diet containing high animal saturated fats and low soy content may be the contributors to the higher incidences of prostate cancer. Soy and Prostate Cancer: decades of promising data Many people often associate the benefits of soy with breast cancer. Indeed, data on soy and prostate cancer has been most promising; many studies support the role of soy in the prevention and possible treatment of prostate cancer. During the late 80s, researchers found that Japanese men in Hawaii who ate tofu at least 5 times per week had 65% less chance of developing prostate cancer than those who ate tofu only once a week or less. In 1998, researchers found that men who drank soy milk at least once a day had a 70% less chance of developing prostate cancer than those who never drank soy milk at all. Soy has also been found to be potentially beneficial in treating prostate cancer and slowing its progression in many animal and in vitro studies. Lately, more human studies point to similar results. In a small study published in Urology in September 2004, Australian researchers found that men consuming a soy-enriched diet had a statistically significant drop of 12.7% in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, compared to the control group whose PSA levels rose 40%. Soy and Prostate Cancer - the bottom line Study after study seems to show that diet is one of the major factors in relation with incidences of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer incidence and mortality rates in Asian countries are much lower than in the United States. Research suggests that one of the reasons for this difference in incident rates may be the high soy content in the Asian diet. In Asian countries, the estimated isoflavone mean daily intake is between 10-50 mg per day. The Louis Warschaw Prostate Cancer Center in California recommends an intake of 35 to 40 g of soy protein daily. However, it is still not clear whether the benefits are due to its soy protein, or its isoflavones daidzein and genistein, or the combination of them. The best approach is to include soy foods such as tofu, tempeh, soy milk, edamame etc in your diet instead of taking soy isolate supplements. With increasing public concerns regarding genetically modified foods, look for soy products which use non-genetically modified soy crops in their production.
