Another good reason to be vegetarian

Read the complete article on the link below.

The plan, called the DASH diet, favors fruits, vegetables, whole grains,

low-fat milk and plant-based protein over meat.

 

Women with those eating habits were 24 percent less likely to have a heart

attack and 18 percent less likely to have a stroke than women with more

typical American diets.

Nice article Judy--thanks. The only thing I'd like to say about it is that

realistically there is NO such thing as " low-fat " or " non-fat " milk; dietary

institutions should KNOW this and be pushing soymilk, rice milk or almond milks

instead. I mean think about this: the purpose and intent of milk is to increase

the weight of a baby CALF tenfold within 6 months of birth! Given this HOW can

it possibly be made to NOT be fattening?

Milk has just as many health hazards as meat does--we shouldn't be drinking

it!

DO you realize we are the ONLY species on the planet that drinks the milk of

another species? I mean seriously--whose idea was it to drink cow's milk

anyway, and if it was all that great for us why don't we drink cat's, dog's,

gorilla's, or giraffe's milk?

Food for thought!

I had major surgery 2 months ago (today in fact!) and had started

changing my eating habits about a month before to more vegetarian.

I've been on meds for high cholesterol/triglycerides for years. I had

bloodwork a couple of weeks ago and this is the first time EVERYTHING

was in the normal range, in fact, cholesterol and triglycerides were

never this low! And I had cut back on the meds a few months back,

even before I changed my eating habits. I'm impressed. And I feel

so much better. Having a group like this with so many TNT delicious

recipes has certainly made it easier than I thought!
