NOTHING WILL BENEFIT HUMAN HEALTH AND INCREASE CHANCES OF SURVAL FOR LIFE ON EARTH AS MUCH AS THE EVOLUTION TO A VEGETARIAN DIET. ----- T EINSTEIN, NOBEL PRIZE WINNER
The ultra-conservative British Medical Association has released a report stating categorically that vegetarians live longer than meat-eaters.
The coronary heart disease mortality among total vegetarians is just 14 percent. Vegetarians can, of course, have heart attacks, but they occur approximately 20 years later than in the lives of meat-eaters. This is a huge difference. And vegetarians live their lives feeling more fit and healthy and suffering from fewer bouts of sickness. Even doctors, who have been slow in recognizing the importance of nutrition to health, are beginning to concede to the scientific evidence that has been accumulating for about 100 years. Vegetarians, the report concludes, have a 28 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease and a 39 percent lower risk of dying from cancer.
The research of the British Medical Association is based on a 12-year study of 5,015 British meat-eaters and 6,115 non-meat eaters. It was a thoroughly controlled study which took into account the effects of living conditions, social status, weight, job hazards and smoking, and still ended up pointing the finger at meat. But what is bizarre about the British study is the fact that its authors said they were “unable to pinpoint exactly what in the vegetarian diet contributed to increased longevity”.
