Social Cause # 06 : Are you concerned about the health & wholeness of those you most dearly love ? Well , do you remember the latest scientific findings mentioned previously in Myth # 16 ? – namely , that meat & dairy consumption has been directly linked to dramatically higher instances of cancer ? … that meat & dairy consumption has been directly linked to dramatically higher instances of heart disease and heart attack ? … that meat & dairy consumption has been directly linked to dramatically higher instances of stroke ? … that meat & dairy consumption has been directly linked to dramatically higher instances of dementia ? … that meat & dairy consumption has been directly linked to dramatically higher instances of diabetes ? … that meat & dairy consumption has been directly linked to dramatically higher instances of osteoporosis ? … that meat & dairy consumption has been directly linked to dramatically higher instances of obesity ? And did you know as well that several studies ( including a Harvard University study , and another study still-ongoing at Loma Linda University ) are now showing that vegans live on average almost 8 years longer than meat-eaters – similar to the gap between smokers and non-smokers ? And finally , did you know that research has also shown that many of the aforementioned severe diseases and terminal conditions can not only be halted but reversed by adopting a vegan diet ?
Well , now you do .
