“Experts on dietetics (the study of diet and its health effects) are finally recognising that balanced vegan diets are healthy. The British Dietary Association has stated well planned vegan diets can support healthy living in people of all ages, and other similar professional bodies all over the world agree. On the other side, the World Health Organization has classified processed meat as carcinogenic, and there is increasing evidence that eating lots of meat and dairy increases blood pressure and blood cholesterol, which leads to heart disease, and that cutting them out can significantly reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes, a disease which is affecting an increasing number of people in developed nations.” VeganismDiabetesVegan QuotesVegan DietHealthy DietEthical VeganDieteticsHealth Risks Book:Ethical Vegan: A Personal and Political Journey to Change the World Source: Ethical Vegan: A Personal and Political Journey to Change the World
“For an ethical vegan it doesn't matter when we started eating meat and for how long, as animal exploitation is not avoided because this is the 'natural' thing to do, but the 'moral' thing to do. However, human biology helps vegans to thrive, rather than hinders them, which explains all the health benefits reported when people switch to a vegan diet.” VeganismVegan QuotesVegan DietHealthy DietEthical Vegan Book:Ethical Vegan: A Personal and Political Journey to Change the World Source: Ethical Vegan: A Personal and Political Journey to Change the World
